I don't think so, I'm sure more people will help, cause I don't know much about offsets and stuff. But I believe 7.5 are standard, and somehow you can probably swing 8.0, but 8.5 seems impossible. However, that's my initial thinking, perhaps people will explain more.
But if I'm correct, I hope you didn't buy the wheels yet...??

sure I'll sell you one. For half the price plus shipping? I love my car, it's actually getting more Kleeman work done right now, it's been in the shop for about a month. Hopefully I can pick it up tomorrow. I was never set about selling the car, just wanted to see what it would get, then I woulda made my decision. I wanted to get a E46 M, but I actually really like the C!

Oh, I didn’t know that – then does that mean one could put 18” AMG E55 wheels on a C-Class? And what about 9.5 in the rear because someone is asking about that in the C32/C55 section-?
yeuchau – The ZHP is more aggressive and sporty, whereas the C320 has more of a luxury drive – at least that’s the difference to me (not to mention the ZHP is faster, limited at 155mph). Oh just noticed we both have BMW’s and Benz’s… I’m sure your bimmer feels more ‘sporty’ than the Benz.

Ohhhhhh! Now that sounds right.
Okay, so depending how you configure your offset it is possible? I mean considering you take the wheels to a tire store they can install them?

Okay, just briefly, can you just explain what you mean by the 'offset being correct'... Does that mean depending on how they are mounted to the tires or what? Can you change the offset?
I guess I'm just confused because a while back I was going to buy E55 Wheels (I didn't know they were E55 wheels) because they looked exactly like C55 wheels and the seller told me they won't fit on my car...

there is a dongle called 'spacers' which allow you to cheat and skew the
offset so that they effectively (better) match rim to your your car. I tend to
stay way from them as they're (for the most part) a poor substitute for
getting proper fitting rims.

get ZHP, it has 6 speed tranny, and better tuned ECU.
if i remember correct, ZHP accelerates from 0-60 in 5.6 seconds for 6 speed tranny, and regular 330 is about 6.1-6.5.
and the ZHP interior is so much nicer than regular 330
