'05 C230 coupe auto
Looking to buy 18" Lorinser LM6 replica. Questions
Happy New Year to all of MBWorld!
I drive a 2005 C230 coupe. I am looking to buy the Lorinser LM6 (the turbine style) replica rims in 18".
What is the offset that I should be looking for?
If anyone has a used set, I'd gladly buy it.
Answering your question in advance - why replica? I live in Bronx, NY. Driving in Bronx, Manhattan or Brooklyn will mess up any rims. Would rather mess up the cheap replica than rims that cost 3K
Thanks

Will these fit?
Hey everyone new to the forums, and was interested in getting wheels. I really like the TSW Sakata 5 model wheels. Here is a link I would like to do staggered, but will these fit a 2006 c230?
These for rear wheels :

our bolt pattern is 5x112
19x8.5 you need between an et29 and et35- depends on the design of the wheels and tire size. most common would be an et32 or et35 with a 235/35 tire
19x9.5 you need between an et30 to et40- depends on the design of the wheels and tire size used. most common would be an et35 with a 265/30 tire

when you find a wheel you like- search on here to see if other's have used it. either that or ask the seller if it will clear bbk (large front sport brakes). just because it falls within one of the offsets mentioned above, doesn't mean it will fit. in my case- i bought et32 fronts, just as most everyone else, but because of the design of the wheel, the spokes hit the caliper. i had to sell them and buy anothet set. also keep in mind hub bore. audi and vw share our pattern- but they have a smaller hub bore- so those wheels won't fit your car w/o some machine work to get the hub cut larger. look for a hub bore that is 66.6 (someone want to confirm that number?)

Stern Hyper-mesh 8 - chrome black with polished lip
I want advice about some rims for my car. It is a Capri blue coupe lowered, I need new tires so I am thinking about new rims too. I went with 17s the first time around, and now I want to go 18s. Has anyone had experience with stern, or ADR wheels?? Here are the three styles that I would like an opinion on. The first is ADR, followed by the Stern in Chrome, then hyper black.
I know there are a lot of Chrome haters out there, but its hard to deny that a dark car with just enough chorome tinted windows, and droped just a little looks pretty sweet!!!
Thanks in advance for the opinions.

search this thread and you will find your fitment answer. 19x8.5F and 19x9.5R will fit. personally- i wouldn't go with 19's unless the car is lowered. 19's look odd at stock ride height.

with the correct backspacing and tire size- 19's will fit with drop coils just fine. with a little fender rolling you could just about completely get rid of rubbing with coil overs.

not necessarily (unless the backspacing was off). i was talking about the fact that coilovers allow you to go lower than just a normal set of drop springs. i was talking about the possibility of the tires to rub the fenders.

Thanks,
Ethan
