if you searched it using 2005-2007 C230 sport sedans and they showed you those will fit then yes they will clear BBK.

Thanks for the tip. I just noticed that they offer an optional rear fitment if I go with the 19", is 9.5 in the rear too wide? I still don't know what my current rears width is. Also I was trying to stay away from 19s because I don't want to have to run skinnies or anything. I am in a Maine and the roads here are beat. Any more tips greatly appreciated, thanks again guys.

19x9.5 will be fine as long as you have the right offset and tires.

Anyone knows the weight of Brabus monoblock VI in 18"??

I really liked to see them on ONEBAD230 car, what are the differences between them and real brabus wheels? I noticed that the replicas are a bit shiny...

I only don't like the huge lip on the rear wheels, does the brabus wheels have it?!

Hi guys, I need your help,

I'm thinking on... buying new wheels but I don't know what to buy!

I was looking on Rubensans Brabus monoblock wheels, but I want to upgrade to a lighter wheels, since I'm doing some performance mods also.

I'm tired looking for wheels, and the lack of coupe pics with them are not facilitating things!

Till now I have a folder full with pics of wheels, but don't know what to choose! Some I like but too heavy or only in 19" or up or even $$$

list for 18":
BBS- all look like the same to me and kind of BMW type , but ligth wheels
HRE- like almost all but, huge lip on the rear ones, don't this aspect, love the M40 but only in 19"
Carlsson 1/11- like, don't know many info about it, specially weight
Brabus- monoblock VI 2 piece, like but heavy!?
OZ- ultraleggera, like but will give a Honda "look" to my MB and not staggered


Wich wheels do you guys think it would fit best on the Coupe!?

francoisisp

so you are saying if i put 265/30/19 it will rub ? what if i get wheel spacers ?

shanarchy

I am considering getting Mandrus Millineum wheels. If you have them on your car post a picture for me please. i am particularly interested in seeing black ones, or any color on a C Coupe. Thanks in advance!

i had 265 without spacers, and an offset of around 28. my tires were too close to my fender to add spacers, so i couldn't do anything about the rubbing.

BUT, i bought new tires last week, 255/35/18 and wala! no more rubbing as of yet! it's such a relief, although i miss that wide look.

don't know about 18's, but maybe if you search something will pop up. or someone more knowledgable will shine through

19x8 +32 235/35/19
19x9 +35 265/30/19










so in the fronts i am rubbing a tiny bit at full lock. not really worried. the rear rubs the inside fender liner at about3 oclock when i take a turn too fast if i go over a dip too fast. rear shocks are kind worn so stiffer suspension may fix it. i dont think i'll have anybody sitting in my rear anymore lol

i like the way the rear sits right now but the fronts gotta go down an inch or 2. what do you guys think about a 10mm spacer in the rear? do you think it'll help with the rubbing?

outaurleague

U can go lower.

rubensans

I like BBS AIR II CK or AIR II CY.

Best Regards.

i had a major rubbing problem, and the way i cured it was to go with a thinner tire in the rear, 255. it is miraculous!

amg slut

i might be getting ahold of a set of KW V2s soon. i know the fronts need it

i'll be trying 10mm spacers in the rear to see if it helps with the rubbing in the rear. 5mm in the front for coilovers

rgunawanz

you can fit 19x8.5 front and 19x10 rear..It will look really juicy in the rear =)

i've been saving up for CLK63 rims for the longest time....
but "other mods" come up and take away my savings...

donmega23

The LM6 replica wheels that I bought would not fit my car and I have the larger sport brakes. I would have needed 8mm to 10mm spacer for the front to clear the calipers. I actually ended up selling them to my buddy who had smaller calipers and I got the Brabus Monoblock S replicas.

Syringe

Can anybody tell if the information below will fit 2007 C230?

Offset: 23mm Bolt Pattern: 5-112
18 inch rims
Tires: 235/40 ZR18 95 Y

Thanks

Mu9enx

the offset seems a little low. are they staggered? width would definitely help out the wheel gurus

drewmaia

I just bought my 2007 c230ss and am looking for some 19s I don't want to drop it but want it to look good ,obviously staggered is the way to go ,what offset and tire size is best?I don't want to rub with people in the back.My car is black how do the Bremmas look in chrome on it?Also Zenetti black with chrome lip?

02~c230coupe

i have OZ ultra leggera 18" x 8" on my c230k coupe and it fits well. No rub issues and enough clearence.

amg slut

update:
fixed most of the rubbing in the rear so i can take a turn faster than a granny (without passengers and cargo in the rear anyways) by shaving the urethane impact strips inbetween the fender and bumper. the tiny bit of rub that remains when cornering a bit faster with a tiny dip should be solved with some stiffer suspension.

will_w204

07 staggered wheels are 37 front/30 rear.. 23 sounds ultra-low, since MB OEM ranges from 30 to 38 depending on the width/staggered vs non.

Just running some size info by you guys, I don't think I'll have any trouble with this setup...but I've been wrong before, so let me know what you guys think.

19x8.5 fronts
35 offset
235/35/19

19x9.5 rears
35 offset
265/30/19
