90-93 stock offset

I've seen literally a half dozen answers on various forums on what is stock for these years - which is impossible.

The car is a 92 500Sl. Came with replica 16x8 8-hole wheels, 225/55/16 tires. I just had them swapped, and I didn't look at the offset, but I presume it's under 30.

I put my 17x7.5 35 offset AMG Monoblocks on it, and they appear to stick inward just a tad. It's not ugly, just not 100% ideal. I'm fine with getting my life out of the tires on them and dealing with it for 10-15k miles, I just want to make sure there aren't any problems.

Already, the SRS light is coming on when I make sharp left turns. No noise, just that. Rubbing a wire somewhere?

Again, what is stock?

Right you are - thanks! Should have known MB would be detail-oriented enough to list offset.

So, my offset is pretty much stock. Stock width is 8, these are 7.5, hence why they look "inset."

What do you think of 10mm spacers on rear? Hesitant, especially when there isn't really a "problem."
