Default AMG Rims on a SRT-6 Staggered But . . .1 thing

So I have been looking for some OEM rims to run on my SRT-6 coupe for a different look for cheap and found some AMG staggered rims that would be great BUT they are 18" and the seller is saying he thinks the rear caliper will hit and they will not work. offset is perfect and they are cheap but I cant run spacers because the rears are already 45+ . Can you run 18" on all corners or do you have to have the 19" to clear?

Stock rims guy myself BUT... Trying to find out if a certain rim set will fit needs a lot more research from the manufacturer of your specific style rims (compare dimensions from said manufacturer). Anything else would be guesswork and you may be stuck with rims you cannot use. Find the rims (wheels) model numbers and then find out if they have a 'fitment' chart/tool. Best I can offer, good luck!

Thanks, the seller is a Tire Guy and he thinks that a 18" is to small and may hit the caliper but the best I remember is the rears Never are so large that they even come close to hitting the caliper. Mine is still at paint and most likely will be for the rest of the month. We know 18" is good on the front but I really need to stick one on the car. . Darn it . .

My drag setup is 16's on the rear. 18's all around are my road course setup. You have clearance to spare on the rear.

I believe I pulled a thread by you sayin you had 18 on all corners but then I saw a NA XF with 18's and there is way to much room in the rear wheel well for me. I did see a Gent that had 20" rims off a AMG C43 and that is the route I am thinking of going now. I love the SRT-6 rims but I enjoy changing up the look of my cars from time to time. Right now the car is in paint and we have spent hours and hours making each panel perfect shooting for a Show Car Finish and I am paint the door handles and window frame Black with the rest of the car along with rebadging the car. I think some of the AMG rims are classy and if I find a set that does not break the bank then I will put the OEM set in the warehouse for the first year. I am still trying to come up with something for the side stakes and most likely will try the chrome covers for them and the door handles once I find some rocking rims. We all know these cars are not going to be in museums but I only change things that can be brought back to stock in a day. I just cant leave well enough alone I guess.
