19x8.5 all around?
any thoughts on 19x8.5 all around? i can get 19" luff wheels for $900, they look like the BBS LM, my trouble is that I really want a staggered setup. I think the $900 pricetag is a pretty good deal but dammit 8.5 on the rear!!! say i put 265 on the 8.5 rear, wouldn't that look weird? there's a 19x10.5 but this is TOO STRONG i'm pretty sure it'll coz problems.

any thoughts on this. my head is spinnin right now.

Well, technically you could put 265's on a 8.5inch wheel, but you will cause some serious Ballooning of the tire itself. NOT A GOOD IDEA. I say you search the internet for a staggered set up for cheaper or around the same price. Dont limit yourself to one wheel, shop around. I guarantee you will find something else you like

DOn't think 265 tires will fit on the 8.5 wheel. BTW, ppl have put 11s in the back.

you won't likely fit 265 onto the 8.5 rim and largest you can go is 19x10

Does anyone know if the Luff M1 19x8.5 would fit the 2005 C230SS? My main concern is brake clearance.

We can order the Luff wheels to fit any offset you have. If you have a BBK that shouldn't be a problem.
