You can run the 8" with 32 offset all around if you want.

I beg to differ.....seems no one yet on the forum has found any wheels to fit properly on the C450. I am waiting for someone to post some aftermarket wheels and no one has yet!

lbowroom

You beg to differ how? I listed a staggered and a square set up that will work nicely on a 450. Yes, the options are limited as you have to stick with an 8 inch in the front The math works out for a near flush to fender install. What don't you like about it?

So has anyone actually gotten a HRE Flowform wheel on a 450 yet? I am in the market for wheels and obviously we dont have much choices unless we want to spend $10K on a custom wheel. I had my wheel guy check and all HRE had were square 19" FF15s in tarmac black. I was thinkin about a stagered set of the FF01 in gloss black. Anyone have any luck on or point me in the direction for this set up?

nadeau

They will not work at all, I ordered the FF01 and they were a no go! I'm not even going to bother with wheels for another year

What about vossens? I had a set of those on my last car

nadeau

Nope I contacted them and the only wheels that will fit are their custom forged line of wheels

What a cluster-****. I guess for prospective C450 shoppers, make sure you love the wheels that come with the car. It's crazy, because MBs are one of the easiest makes to find tons of aftermarket wheels for. I'm rooting for you guys!

OK, i'll order TSW 19x8 +32 and 19x9.5 +53. Let's see if this could work
Who knows part number for TPMS? And do i need to program them to work?
Thanks

As long as you get the right frequency, should sync right up no problem.

i stumbled across this list on Instagram!! I commented to see what specs he is running , just hoping he replies lol

19 inch Rotiforms
I apologize it's not C450 but C200L

Looks like a C300/400 looking at the exhaust tip

NYCSoiL

What about 19x8.5 + 25 front?
"Compared to your existing wheel, this new wheel will have an inner rim which is 4.7mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 20.7mm more than before."

NYCSoiL

I found his wheels and i can only guess that the size he got is:
19x8.5 +34 for front which is "have an inner rim which is 13.7mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 11.7mm more than before."

19x9.5 +50 for rear which is "have an inner rim which is 13.7mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 11.7mm more than before."

HRE is working on a solution for their FlowForm series. I am also in contact with Zito to see if they have made any progress on creating fitments for this. Stay tuned.

Part number for factory TPM sensors...when ordering through the MB parts department, just supply your vin number and they will give you the correct sensors. They should work right away when you put the wheels and tires on the car. These were ordered based on a C400, not sure if there is a different frequency for the 450, but again if you supply your Vin you will get the correct ones. I strongly suggest not to buy the universal aftermarket ones, spend the extra money and get the Factory MB ones. Or if you order wheels and tires locally have them swap the ones from your stock wheels into the new wheels.

Also, I have already done the homework on what will properly fit the car using the 19 inch OE tire sizes, the application requires a 19x8.0 ET35 front and a 19x9.0 ET38 rear. The recommended tires to use are 225/40-19 front and 255/35-19 rear. This set up keep the OD correct for the 4matic function. Wheels available are Forged 1pc and 3pc, price range for wheel and tire packages will vary based on brand, finish and tire brands. Feel free to PM me if you are interested in going with a forged set up.
Attached are photos of how we process and ship our wheel and tire packages complete with Factory MB TPM sensors.

Wouldn't it look funny with 19's on the front and 18's on the rear?





Just kidding. I know it's likely a typo.....

NYCSoiL

He replied to me and my guess was correct. The only thing is he is using 3mm spacer in front.

aimless

So that means it doesn't work. His wheels most likely pokes past the fender by around 5mm. So that seals it. Can't go wider than 8".

NYCSoiL

3mm spacer is not bad, i was running 15mm on my Genesis Coupe for 1 year before i got new wheels. No issues at all. We don't have options for 8" rims 8.5 and 9.5 only.

Mike5215

Has anyone tried rolling their fenders?

aimless

I have no problems running spacers.
I have used them on all my cars. I think I've spent over $1k on spacers over the years haha.

My issue is that the wheel pokes out past the fender. That, I don't want.
