wheels

Hello mbworld,
recently I thought about putting rims on my c class. Any one know about which ones fit or if your selling any rims that fit an isn't too outragouesly priced. Chrome,alloy or painted, just show me what you got. I tried ebay and came up with nothing.

From what i know:

Fronts: 225/XX/20 MAX. Dont try to go bigger.
Rears: 245/XX/20 MAX. Dont try to go bigger.

Offsets between 32-38 will work fine without spacers on w202s. Bolt pattern 112.

Search around different forums; lots of wheels are on sale, just gotta find the ones you want :]

Honestly you can go more extreme but for best results here is my advice:

Tire width: 225 front and 255 rear

Wheel Size: 17-19 inch

Width: 8-8.5 inch front, 9-9.5 inch rear

Offset: around ET35, no higher than 40, no lower than 30

But remember if you have bigger brakes even if the offset is correct it may not fit.

Ofc anyone can go "extreme version" that's not intended for their car, but they may end up with rubbing issues, and having to roll fenders and the like. And no one wants to do that. =_=

Well the bolt pattern has to be the same or the wheels wont fit. Offset needs to be close to the same or they will rub on something and not fit correct.

I find 17's look great on our cars.

Also, personally, I'd never go chrome. And just for that touch of authenticity, I'd only go with something that's been done by Mercedes/AMG. I reckon the AMG Monoblock II's or Brabus Monoblock VI's (genuine or replicas, whichever tickles your fancy or wallet) look wicked on our cars

I have the AMG Style III on my 202 - 18x8 and 18x9 on mine but am wondering if I can fit the stock wheels from my 211 E55 on it.

I have been told repeatedly that I can't go any wider than 8 and 9 - someone help me clear this up.

Car is lowered on Eibach springs with stock sport shocks - i need to change the spring pad up front as it sits too high - was a 1 now a 4.

so you think the 211 wheels will fit listed above?

i called the dealership and they said no, but usually discount what they say most of the time.
