OEM Rims/wheels for a C230 Coupe?
Hi guys,
I tried the search feature to check on the compatibility of other Mercedes rims for a C230 Coupe but I can't seem to find what I was looking for and need your help.
Question (1): Will SL500 18" Sport Rims with the J spacing fit on a Coupe? I like the design of the rim but have no idea if its compatible. The size of it is 18x8.5J and 18x9.5J but what does the J-space do to the rim?
Question (2): Will the 17" Sport Rims from a 2005 C230 Kompressor Sedan fit on a 2002 C230 Sports Coupe? The reason why I ask is because some guys at the dealership told me its possible but they were unsure. Any help?
Factory Wheel Size: ( Front: 225x45rx17; 17x7.5 Rear: 245x40rx17; 17x8.5 )
Can anyone confirm this?

Does anyone know about SL500 rims with the J-spacing being interchangable with any w203 C230?

Not sure about 1 but the 2005 C230 Sport Sedan rimms should fit the 2002 Coupe. Problems between the w203 wheels occurs when you try to put a 16" wheel on the 2004.5+ Sport Sedans because they have larger 13.6" rotors and larger calipers. Even some 17" and larger wheels have clearance issues with the front calipers. 2004.5+ Sport Sedan wheels will fit any w203
