c250 offset options

Hello All,

Does anyone know what is the most aggressive offset we can run front and back? I want my rims to be as flush with the fenders as possible and am just starting to look for wheel options for the summer.

That's an aggressive offset but a very non-standard undersizing of tires (major stretching).

I'm running 19x8.5" fronts and 19x10" rears with the standard 235/35R19 fronts and 265/30R19 rears. I have to check with Forgestar for the offsets.

That stretch is actually pretty mild, but it's a rare sight on a Mercedes, not sure I like the look.

If you want to be aggressive, I would recommend a 19x8.5+45 and 19x9.5+45 along with 245F and 265R.

Lol@ +45 being aggressive. I was running a +22 on my G35 sedan staggered and it was AWD.

Cool! This is the Mercedes-Benz C class world where a low 40 is considered aggressive.
