3 options for you.
1. use spacers
2. ditch that set and get another set (see w203 aftermarket wheel thread) https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...rmarket+wheels
3. downgrade to the smaller luxury sedan brakes & rotors

first off let me say hi to everyone. hi.
ok, now i bought a set of wheels for my 2005 c230k. they are 18x8.5 with a 35mm offset. but they wont fit. the spoke rubs the brake caliper. so im thinking i will need spacers. but would like to avoid it if i can. any info would be VERY appreciated......
thanks,
jason

yeap +1
the 2005+ sport sedan brakes are bigger. so you'd need a set of wheels that can clear your brakes, if they only touch up a bit, then a spacer would be good, but if they REALLY dont fit, you need new wheels.

There's a wheel thread that can answer your question. I think 275 may be too wide and may cause some rubbing issues. Here's the link to the wheel thread:

well, i checked out that fitment guide ... it says 19x9.5- 35 offset - 265/30r19
So by my offset being lower 32 vs 35
Will 265/30 fit both offsets with no prob?
Or because the offset is lower, i have to lower to i.e. 255/30?
or maybe the 275/30 will work because my offset is lower?
As you can see i dont know much about wheels/tires so im hoping one of you can help, thanks again for pointing me in the right direction i actually checked out that thread but missed that part.

if offset is lower, wheel is close to fender.
i'd go with a 255/30/19, but if you want a 265 or 275, be my guest.
(just don't blame me when the tire rubs)
fender work would be rolling the fenders and shaving the tab from the rear bumper.
