Does anyone know what the offset for the new E (W211) and SL (R230) is? I am looking at these wheels:

and it would be good to know if they are going to fit. ;)

dude
it says ET 30 on the description..
to tell you the truth it might stick out a bit
for W202 I would go with ET35 for 8.5 width rim ;)
(edit: never mind, according to my book this also listed as a fitment for W202 18x8.5 ET30, so I guess you should be fine..
Also FYI, these wheels staggered setup should have been 18x7.5 ET31/18x8.5 ET 30mm. So 30 offset on the 8.5 width rim on the front might be a bit aggresive.

Yeah and the front/rear diameter is way off, if the sizes they listed are correct there is 2.51% difference between the front and rear. On my SLK with 225/45R17 front and 245/40R17 rear there's only 1.02% difference. This might throw off all kinds of things, ABS, EPS, ARS ect.
