04' C240 4Matic
Opinion Needed!! Funnel Spokes on an 04' C240??

Greetings, I stumbled across a nice deal for a set of c230 Funnel spoke wheels (havent bought them yet). Will they fit on a 2004 C240 4matic? Has anyone put them on their C240? How do you think it will look?? PICS??

Lemme Know...

Thanks

without pics! I have no clue what the C230 Funnel spoke wheels are. Never heard of that style before. I think you're referring to the OEM sport 2004.5-2006 5 spoke rims, but I'm not 100% sure. Those are called Adharaz

Yeah those are the 2004.5-2006 update wheels. The actual name of them is "Adharaz". Saprissa had started a thread somewhere on this forum (not in the w203 forum) that has all the actual names for OEM MB wheels.

The setup is staggered. I know there are a few people that run staggered setup on their 4Matic's, but many shops I have spoken with before suggest against staggered setups on 4wd cars (depending on the power balance for Front/Rear).

According to my MB wheel book, it lists against 4-matic application.

I don't think they will fit on a 4matic C240 as they have staggered widths.

The only reason I can think of that the "fitment" wouldn't work is the clearance w/ the suspension on the 4Matic.

The only issue I had in mind didn't have to do with clearance, but more-so with regards to how the rims would affect the performance/speedo on a 4matic car.

It appears that MB does sanction staggered fitment on 4-matics. Click on W203 once the link opens.
