Thanks Blake...
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

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.

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....

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 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...

Thanks!

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?

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.

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