Your best bet is contacting a vendor who sells them. Neal @ Euroteck should know, as he's sold a ton of them over the years to guys on these forums. info@euroteckmotorsports.com

Thanks Blake...

Why did you use spacers, do you have coilovers?
I thought +32 was good to clear the sport brakes?
Thanks, Erin

It varies by wheel, based on lip size, spoke thickness and design. ET32 on an 8" wheel is much different than ET32 on an 8.5" wheel. Also, VS-XX have fairly straight spokes, which reduces caliper clearance.

Thanks Blake, that's why I'll never be comfortable buying new wheels with all the x-factors. Waiting for the right used set that were run on a Sport Sedan so all of the leg work for clearance has been done.

Those superleg you look'd at has the Audi hub ... I was looking at them too :P
so you didn't miss anything

Frank the wheels look sick on your car!

Hey Erin,

I don't have coilovers, im actually running on stock suspension.

I thought with a +32 i would be good too, I really didn't want to use spacers, but these wheels were a biotch to fit. the VS-XX have 3 different center disks, the A, O & R disc, R being for cars with a BBK. I talked to WORK Japan and WORK USA before purchasing and both didnt know exact offsets as to make it fit perfectly. I even tried on a set of these wheels with the regular center disc and a +27 offset, it not only stuck out about an inch, it didnt even clear the brake. These wheels are custom made in Japan and they told me they fit them to a 2005 C230K SS out there, but they said the brakes are a little smaller, thats why i had to use a spacer... I don't know if thats true or not. Im not too fond of spacers, but i haven't had any problems so far....

It doesn't make sense that 27 offset would stick out because you're running 27 now with the 5mm spacers. You sure the ones you tried weren't 8.5" wide?

yeah the ones i tried on were 8.5, sorry left that out...

If you lowered your car, the negative camber would make the wheels look more flush with your fenders.
FYI - My coupe has 35 offset with 12mm spacers in front (8" wide wheels), which means I'm running 23 offset and the wheels sit perfect with the fenders.

i'm thinking about swapping my spacers from front to rear ...rear to front...

Only if you promise to lower it more!

just wondering is it gonna be a problem if i have 225/35/19 in the front on a 19x8.5 wheel???

cuz i dont see ppl doing it

it's fine. I had 18x8.5 and I ran 225. you'll just have a little less sidewall for 19s.

I should be lowering it soon. I have a set of H&R springs to use, but will probably wait awhile to get some coilovers.... hopefully soon. anyone have some used ones for sale, let me know....

I just asked about the vs-xx wheels i tried on before, i was mistaken, they were a +24 and we had to use a 10mm spacer just to get it to sit right around the bbk, brought it down to a +14, thats why they stuck out so much. I guess it all has to do with the center disc of this wheel....

anyways i attached one last pic with a ps'd drop...

enjoy and thanks for all the good info in this thread...

Anyone have any info on the 255/35/18 rear fitment on a 2005 C230 sport sedan? Also will this tire work on an 8" wide wheel?

Thanks!

hey guys,

got 19x9.5 for rear and 19x8.5 for front

got 235/35 front and 265/30 for rear (not lowered).As dirty as this will sound but I'm rubbing with three passengers in the car when I go over small bumps etc just want to know is this normal and can be avoided if I get smaller size tires and or COs?

i rubbed on 18's with 265 tires in the rear. go 255's and you should be set.

So far I have H&Rs Springs and no rubbing at all. OEM struts/shocks are holding up for now but I will soon change them for maybe Koni or Bilstein.

Anyone got the BBS CV on his W203 and can show some pictures please?
I'm talking about these rims:

I want to get them on my 2006 C280 station wagon, but I'd like to see "real life" pictures first...:-)

Thanks so far!

Never seen CV's on a 203 before.
