 Hi Vince, The Monoblock II's in 18X8 will fit all the way around with no spacers.  I run them on my car in the fronts.  In the rears, if you want to use the 18X8, you can.  Or you can use the 18X9 for the "staggered look" but will need 20mm spacers and 60mm bolts to go with them.  Make sure they are hubcentric spacers made to fit our cars and those wheels.  There are several places these can be gotten from.  If need be I can check my receipts and find where I got mine, its been about 5 years since I did mine. Good luck,Markus--- On Mon 12/27, Vince &lt; vje002@comcast.net &gt; wrote:From: Vince [mailto: vje002@comcast.net]To: mbcoupes@mbcoupes.comDate: Mon, 27 Dec 2004 18:14:00 -0500Subject: [W126 Coupe] AMG Staggered Wheels at The Wheel ExchangeHi folks,I have been trying to do my research on the archives and seem to see thatthe AMG Mono Bloc II would be a good choice for my 1988 560 SEC. The WheelExchange can get a set of 18 x 8 and 18 x 9 for 1400 plus shipping. Theyclaim that they will fit, but with spacers. They are not sure of what sizewould be required. Several questions:1. What size spacers would be required?2. What should I ask about ET?3. Who else would stock these wheels and really know what they are doing?4. What other wheel recommendations would you have?Thanks in advance for your help!Vince1988 560 SEC1989 560 SELThe MB Coupes Website!W126 SEC Mailing ListPostings remain property of MB Coupes, L.L.C.
