Expert Buying Guide for 2018 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG CLS
For the 2018 Mercedes-AMG CLS, the 5x112 bolt pattern is shared across 2017–2021 models, ensuring cross-compatibility. The 66.6mm center bore is critical: aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibration and ensure proper load distribution. Offset is sensitive; the factory 37mm offset maintains suspension geometry and brake clearance. Deviating more than ±5mm may cause rubbing or handling issues. Always verify lug nut thread pitch (14x1.50) and seat type—Mercedes uses ball seats, not conical. Using incorrect lug nuts can lead to wheel loosening. For safety, re-torque after 50 miles of driving.

Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts to 110 Nm (81 lb-ft) after 50 miles of driving.
- ✅ Aftermarket wheels require hub-centric rings (66.6mm to wheel bore) to avoid vibrations.
- ✅ Avoid offsets below 32mm or above 42mm to prevent rubbing on fenders or suspension.
- ⚠️ Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x112 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- ⚠️ Torque lugs in a star pattern to 100 ft-lbs (135 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).

2018 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG CLS — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG CLS?
The 2018 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG CLS uses a 5x112 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 66.6mm and the offset is 37mm.
What other years of Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG CLS have the same bolt pattern as the 2018?
The Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG CLS uses the 5x112 pattern from 2017 through 2021. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2018, provided the offset and center bore also match.
What is the factory wheel offset for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG CLS?
The OEM offset for the 2018 Mercedes-AMG CLS is typically around 37mm. Depending on wheel width, a deviation of ±5mm is usually acceptable, but verify suspension clearance.
Why is matching the 66.6mm center bore important for the 2018 Mercedes-AMG CLS?
The 66.6mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
Can I put aftermarket wheels on my 2018 Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG CLS?
Absolutely. Just ensure the aftermarket wheels have a 5x112 bolt pattern, an offset near 37mm, and a center bore of at least 66.6mm (using hub rings if larger).
What does 37mm offset mean for the 2018 Mercedes-AMG CLS?
An offset of 37mm means the wheel's mounting surface is 37mm away from its centerline. Changing this value drastically can affect suspension geometry and wheel bearing wear on your Mercedes-Benz.
