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!!
Got these installed yesterday and it fit nicely! now waiting for my eibach prokit to ship in!!

Front: 18 X 8.0J +35 (Face 1)

2004 C230 Kompressor Sedan 6MT
I've tried doing a bit of research, but I just want to be reassured.

Will these fit a 2004 C230 Kompressor sedan (Classic, not Sport... Canadian car)?

http://www.autosportseuropean.com/eB.../image1967.jpg

Specs are: 19x8.5 fronts, 19x9.5 rears, "mid" offset, and come with a tire package of 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 (Tire sizes can be changed upon order)

I don't know all the details on wheel specs, just trying to see if they'd fit.

WTF is a "mid" offset???

The following will fit on W203/CL203 without any body/suspension modification:
Front 19x8.5 with 29 offset and 235/35R19 tires
Rear 19x9.5 with 35 offset and 265/30R19 tires

NOTE: Again,... it'll fit with the above mentioned offset,... anything different and you may need body/suspension modification.

NOTE: Just because it'll fit without any modification doesn't mean you should do it! 19" will be extremely hard on your suspension and shouldn't be done unless your area is full of airport runway baby-*** smooth roads!

And good luck finding the right lug bolts,... with the right shank length, right thread size and right size ball/cone seat for these aftermarket rims.

Haha, the roads where I live are far from airport runway smooth... and I wouldn't be getting any coilovers for a while... So should I just stick with 18"? And do you have the recommended tire specs for 18s with stock suspension? I'll eventually be dropping it 1.5" I believe.

Thanks for the reply though.

Between 18 & 19" you're not going to feel too much of a difference. It just basically comes down to preference.

Those wheels look like the ones that SGTzAMG has on his c32 you should contact him for sizing/offsets etc.

That is actually the E Class type IV rim with less curl on the spokes. The Genuine C Class C 55 wheel looks like this. Available in split rim or straight.

i think c350 coupe is correct .. if you look, the wheels he posted and the wheels on the silver C class have rivets. the wheels posted by Glyn look like OEMs...

at any rate, there are at least 2 well known AMG replicas (and a few other random companies too), the TSW bremmas and the ASA/Sport Edition ST4s.. and I would like to know which ones are on the silver C...

Wheels in question:

C350 Coupe (CL203)
Sorry, i should have said the image i posted was click-able, and takes you to the alloywheelsdirect.net page for them, and it contains all the info, the one i posted a picture of should have been the C class one, not the E Class, unless someone has been duplicating photo duties

The Type IV AMG Twin 5 Spoke rims are available as mono-block or split-rim, so some will have the bolts, some won't

I'm actually tempted to get a set of these for my Coupe, there is a set of 17's available right now that i have my eyes on, but really wanted 18" rims, and to re-use the 17's i have for the winter, seems a bit wrong to buy new or freshly refurbished wheels to use in the winter lol

@GLYN .... that image you posted of the wheels on the grass.... top left rim how much balancing weight was needed

i recently purchased work varianza d3s rims...fronts are 19x8.5 +35 (225/35/19) and rears 19x9.5 +35 (235/35/19) and was told to order 20mm hubcentric spacers to clear the coilovers...is this true or will i need a bigger/smaller spacer...i am going for that vip flushed look and will rolll fenders if have to..thanks...
