Need favor from someone in Los Angeles Area

The rims I want to order are only available in 35mm offset. The shop is located in L.A. and he said he would be willing to test fit the rim on a vehicle so he could know for sure. Unfortunately, I am located in FL so my options limited. They are located in the Burbank/Glendale/Pasadena area, so if anyone with a 203 sedan would be willing to help a fellow MbWorld'er out then it would be much appreciated. He said he would just have to test the front for fitment and he would have you in and out in no time. THe shop is Need4Speet Motorsports.
Thanks
Electro

Charles,

If it weren't the holidays and me being busy as hell right now, I'd do it no problem. Only thing is, I've got the TEIN Super Streets on and I've got the 2004.5 (w/ the C32 front brakes), so my car might not be the best for test fitment anyway.

I'll let you know if I run into anybody that can help you out.

Well... there are 3 rims that I am interested in but 2 of them which are my #1 choices are both 35mm offset for front and rear. 8.5 inch width front and 9.5 inch width for rear. Someone from here was helping me figure this stuff out (thanks bro)..... so it seems like they will fit but I am paranoid since I have heard contrasting stories from too many people.

Well... if the rims at this shop fit on the car with a big brake setup then it shouldl fit with my tiny brake setup....right? And that means that when I get the lucky chance to install the AMG brakes I will know I won't have issues. So if it's not problem, it would be fine if someone with the big brakes could do this.....
correct me if I am wrong guys.... ??

Let me ask a question hypothetically...... 35mm offset on 8.5 width will clear the front with standard brakes and without rubbing? or does it depend on the wheel design? Will it also clear the rears without a problem in 35mm offset on 9.5 inch width?

Oz,

Offset matters, but so does design.

yah... which is why I am hesitant to order without a fitment check . Does anyone know if the hub on my car is same on a CLK? The guy said it will clear the hub on a CLK and the standard brakes. He just doesn't know for a C-class, because he isn't sure if the hub extends further out.
