AMG 18" Monoblocks for the W202

I just picked up a 2000 C230 Sport and would like to update the wheels. Consensus is that the E55s are the way to go.

1294010102 -front 18X8
2104010202 -rear 18X9

What rubber are you all running on these (without any rubbing issues)?

Thanks in advance

The wheels fit and it is a tight fit to where manufacturing tolerances and tire model will dictate any rubbing issues. I have two w202's and one rubs in front and one rubs in back using the same wheelset. The rear rub is only when the suspension is fully compressed and it rubs on a bump located on the fender liner. Up front the fender might need rolling. The tire sizes I use are as follows:

225/40/18 front
255/35/18 rear
