AMG Style IV 19" - opinions and info needed

Has anyone fitted these AMG Style IV 19" on their C class? I think they're made for the E, with offsets of 31 F and 30 R. From what I heard, the bolts have to be changed. Will they fit the C? Any information would be helpful. Thanks!

Also, what do you guys think of the rim?

I think someone is sure to tell you that if you had searched the forum, you would have found the TSW Bremas (AMG replica) with the correct offsets and this would not be an issue.

I think that might happen.

Well, I guess that someone is you then. But I'm not sure if you realized it, I don't want TSW Bremas. I want AMG.

Nevertheless, thanks for your input.

u'll need some spacers and some new lugs.

go to www.mercedes-amg.com and go to accessories and click on c-class. It'll show you all the AMG wheels that are available for the C. No 19s tho.

I know a guy who fit the E Class (w211) AMG wheels on his CLK (w209), which would be the same fitment as our C's. He said it required machining something to make it work, but I'm not completely certain. Maybe a competent wheel shop could help you out.

There is absolutely no useful information in that thread other than people speculating about whether or not they will fit. I've seen them fit on a CLK with some work, so I know it can be done for our C's. I'm just not certain how much time, effort, and (most importantly) money it will take.

As Blake said, there's nothing in that thread except speculation. Obviously I can't go through every thread in the forum. I did a search, which came up with nothing.

Oh, and by the way, you suck.

We come together as C class owners to discuss issues relating to our cars.
But sometimes we get 'help' from 'helpful' members in the form of :
1) STFF
2) This topic has been discussed a million times

Hey, if they can have the time to read and reply those remarks, whats wrong with helping by typing "Here is one thread on your question, hope it helps http://www........ "

And....sometimes we are not that lucky to find the exact thread when we do a search. Because searching on a certain keyword may not yield the desired result.

formula1, Good luck with your 19s!

There is no need to use E-Class rims. There are actual CLK rims at 19" that work fine but you will need to have AMG body mods as per workshop spec and some reasonably tight settings on the suspension.

you could make it work, if you're willing to spend the time and most importantly $$$. But you'll need a very competent shop to do it, someone who can order/build a custom hub-centric spacer, that is if you need spacer. If you need to shave the wheel pad, you'll need a more competent shop, someone that can measure the thickness of the pad from the bottom of the lughole to the face of the rear pad. Whereabouts are you? I know a couple of SoCal shops that can do it, but you need to bring your wheels and car to them, I'll give you shop name if you PM me, I cant plug them here because they're not vendors. Expect to spend at least $100 per wheel depending on the work and parts needed, you may need shorter or longer bolts in addition to the spacer/shave. Anything can be done, as long as you're willing to pay for it and willing to go thru the process. I hope this helps.

No. The 19" 2-piece AMG Style IV's from the R230 SL65 will fit the W203 C-class and W209 CLK. There may be a little rubbing but with the correct tires I'm pretty sure they bolt right up.

Here's proof: https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...897&highlight=
