hey guys! 06 c230 sport sedan here. i'm wondering if i would have any problems with these numbers.

18x8 et 36 and the rears are 18x9 et 38

found some works vs-xx's

would i need any spacers to clear the BK etc.

thanks!

FrankW

you might need a 5mm for the front. best to test them out first. you can also ask coupecrazy what his offset is. he has the 18x8 18x9 work vsxx

SkankZ

oh okay thanks frank

it's coming off some Audi. He claims that the rims couldn't fit after he changed rotors/pads due to it's offsets. Just curious if there would be any problem fitting it on the w203.

Hi all!
Mine is 06 C350 sedan with factory spec MB 4-pot performance brakes
Need help with these numbers for the GC-05K I have ordered (still have time to change my orders..I hope) :
front 18X8 et +35 225/40/18
rear 18X8.5 et +24 255/35/18


QNs:
1) will these fit the stock car and brakes?

2) my eibach prokit and koni FSD is on the way too... will it cause any rubbing? Do I need to add spacers or prep for fender rolling?

3) If I upgrade to the SLK55 6/4 AMG brake set later on, will these fit?

Thanks!!

1. your front should be able too... I dont know about the rears...
2. why dont you go with h&r cup kit... its much better than the eibach springs and no it wont rub..
3. No idea

FrankW

yes, they should fit by specs and by looking at the rim design.

by plugging the specs into the offset calculator you should be okay. (I'm comparing between my old 19x9.5 ET27 setup and current 18x9.5 ET32 setup)

as long as you have 5mm ish between your spokes and your stock brakes you should be fine when you upgrade.

work vs-xx, has 3 center disks:

a-disk = average brake caliper
o-disk = deep dish application with lower caliper
r-disk = huge caliper

just to give you an idea of how difficult vs-xx's are, I tried on a set that had an offset of +23, came nowhere near of clearing my brake. The set i own now are +32 with a 5mm spacer = +27 and clears my brake easily. if there was anyway of trying them first, i would do that...

skankz are those wheels being sold to you by some guy with an email that has nismo in iT?

Hello I was thinking in an 19'' for my coupe rears 9,5'' and front 8,5''. I also wanted to low my car with H&R springs, Will this config be all right? If not what would I need??

Thinking of bidding on these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Carls...item336081ba6d In my top 3 favorite W203 wheels.

Any thoughts, on what they are worth? I know I would need some significant spacers, but other than that, will these work? Also any guesses on what it would take to repair them?

^ Are those authentic, or reps?

johnand

Sure look authentic to me. They have Carlsson Germany imprinted on the inside of the wheels. But, the price is too good to be true, that is why I was asking the experts here, their thoughts. I know they are not the W203 offsets, but willing to run spacers if the price is right.

FrankW

the 1/16 BE are only made in et40/45. they are made this way so they can be used on almost all MB. Carlsson has the bolts and spacer setup for them. you will need a 12mm for the front and 10mm for the rear. call Carlsson USA and they should be able to get those for you.

those are definitely authentic in the pictures. no replicas I've seen can copy the paint quality of the authentic brilliant silver they use. and yes these were made by Ronal.

frank will that 10 inch rear actually fit on a w203?

ggms16

Yes it will.

I Have 10.5" rear and 9.5" front with 265/35 R18 and 240/40 R18 in the front and works great with NO MODS.

XsuperbeeX

19 is kinda pushing on a coupe.. but shouldnt be any problems if the offset is right

looks authentic

FrankW

19x8.5 19x10 et 28/35

I take it those arent rolled fenders?

FrankW

no. just shaved the plastic tabs on the impact strip.

I'm a newbie with a 2007 C280 4matic Avantgarde. I have stock 17" rims with 225/45R17 tires on it. I am looking to get winter tires on rims and have a few questions that I couldn't find answers to while searching the forum. I'm looking at both 16" and 17" options. I know I will need 5-112 bolt pattern. What offset, backspacing and width should I be looking for? Its 4matic so I think I need the same size for all 4 tires. I think I need 35mm offset and width should be 7.5 for 17" or 7 for 16". No clue about backspacing.

Will non-OEM wheels void ELW? Can you give specific 16"/17" wheel recommendations from tirerack.com?

Thanks for your help!!

whats up guys new to mercedes. I have a 03 c230 kompressor sedan im looking into 19s staggered. Just wondering what are good sizes and off sets to sit flush. i dont want a sunken in wheel going for a vip look and going to lower it after i get the wheels. Any help is appreciated!

phister

most go for 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear as for offset any where from +30 to +35 will work but you can always go lower.

bensitto

I have a set of SL63 replicas in new condition. Same 19" staggard setup you are looking for. Pm me or check my link in my sig.

RaceNaked

Alrite thanks for the info! Im guessing those offsets will set the wheel pretty flush. I dont want them to look sunk in but also dont want to rub when i lower it.

phister

Well it might rub if you lower it in the rear depending on the offset. But if you do an alignment you can always ask them to 0 the toe and do a -1 or so camber and that'll help also you can just roll the fenders no fender pulling should be required unless you want to go with a lower offset.
