18" rims that clear '05 & '06 calipers?????
I just spent about a half an hour searching and came up empty. What 18" rims have the right off set to clear the larger brake calipers on teh '05 & '06 Sport Sedans???? Would like to get staggered in 8.5" & 9.5" if they will fit. Any ideas???? I originally thought I would go with 19's, but I'm concerned about ride quality and the additional rolling mass with the lower hp of the C230, not to mention the crappy roads here.

If the '05 + '06 are the same as the '04.5 ones, then the Moven (replica Brabus) will fit fine.

I am running 8.5 up front, 9.5 rear...in 18s
