Will any of these wheels fit properly for me?

Would these fit on my 2005 C240 4MATIC?

If you would have searched for offsets for the W203, you would have noticed that the offset is too high.

Answer: No

Andy,

Those aren't quite what I'm looking for. Sounds like a good deal though.

I'm looking for either a set of four front wheels for a 2007 C230, the CLK 5 double-spokes from the sport appearance package (again 4 fronts since I can't do staggered) or some other ones that fit my offset from the SLK, CLK's or E.

Anyone seen anything around that I might have missed?

Chris,
To destagger I would go for 4 X MB rear wheels from other models like splinter has & fit 235/45/17 tyres all round. You need offsets from approx 30 to 34 to be absolutely safe all round. I know you are not someone who would tolerate rubbing.

Front wheels mounted on the rear are too set back & look wierd.

ps. splinter runs wider tyres rear but same rim size on all 4. I'm running 235/45/17 all round now on AMG reps & it all works fine with acceptable comfort.

Gotcha. I was hoping you might chime in on this Glyn.

Any pics of those wheels you're running?

Chris - I have not photographed on the car yet but looks & works fine. My trusty Canon has failed. New one coming. I'm running 8 X 17 ET32 all round - You can safely fit 8.5 as well. I was restricted in wheels I could get. You have better choices. Don't try & run 245 on the front however. The dimple in the standard strut is too small & they will just touch with a Michelin PS2 tyre. I've done a test fit. You would have to run Koni Yellow struts up front with a larger dimple to fit a 245 & then it's tight. 235 is max you can safely run on the front with OE struts at this offset.

This is the wheel style I've fitted in Hyper silver - wanted the ones without split rim studs but not available:

TSW Bremma Style. I was going to suggest these as well as I think they look the nicest out of a non-staggered setup.

Similar to a Bremma - Actually a direct rip off of the rear alternative AMG C55 pattern split rim.
