Franco, killer wheels man. I always liked those many spokes type Haha.. Don't know what its called.
Joe, they're nice, but I prefer the amg ones I got.. And dependant on the colour of your car, blacked out rims don't always suit my fancy.

Hey all just wanted to get your opinions. I was thinking of snagging these rims. A shop is selling em for 1180 with wheels. Price includes professional Mounting, Computer Road Force balance, and Installation. They are 19 staggered. What do you think? Matte black on Barolo Red?

Ouais les spécifications que vous avez affichée sont bonnes ... vont sur votre voiture. Assurez-vous que la taille de la roue est 66.6mm.
si vous voulez, pour les façades, vous pouvez même obtenir les 235 instaed de 225's. Il sera toujours OK, mais 235 est le maximum

I have a stock 2001 black c240. I want to get the replica amg rims off ebay. I cant decide on 18s or 19s and hyper black, silver, or gunmetal machine faced. Will I need spacers? I have the stock 16 rims that come with the car and no fancy sport packages or mods. Does anyone have pics of the hyper white or silver ones installed?

For offset you want the highest to be +35 and lowest around +20
For staggered wheels most get 8.5 front and 9.5 in rears.
18s or 19s is your choice if you plan on lowering it or not. If you get 19s and dont lower it you car will look like a 4x4. You wont need spacers if you can an offset around +35 if you can only get +40 or something like that then you'll need spacers. Also when you buys the wheels you need to see if they wheels are acorn lug bolts or ball set, then you'll need to measure out what size lug bolts you need because if you get them too long it'll damage your breaking system and too short it wont hold your wheels on. When you put the bolt on it it'll take 6 full turns from initial start to tighten.
As for tires, the fronts can only fit 235 as the widest. Your tire choice will depend on what width wheels you get.

thanks for the quick response. My plan was to buy the rims then take them to a tire shop and get new tires and have them figure out all the details,I definitely dont want to lower the car. With 18s i would get low profile tires maintain a similar ride height?
here is the link which im sure youve seen a million times.

those 18s will fit fine since its +35 all around. no spacers needed. For tires you should get 225/40/18 and 255/35/18. Plus look for some good tires that'll last. Michelin, bridgestone, Yokohama, Hankook, Conti are good choices with our cars. If you go with the Continentals get the DSW, many guys just recently got them and the love the tires.

Does anyone know if we need the "shoulder" on the spacers for both front and rears?
Because i'm running 15mm in the front and none in the back, I would need a 10mm to make it flush/even right? I was getting mixed answers for the rears, to go 5mm more or less to make it flush with the front.
My question is how some hubcentric 10mm spacers have no center ring/shoulder/lip. Would I need the shoulder for both front/rear? If yes, I would have to run 15mm in the front and 12mm in the rear because the 10mm didn't have a shoulder. I'm only asking because I found cheap hubcentric spacers 66.56 bore for mercedes for only 20-30 bucks for a pair, where 12mm and up have the shoulders and 10mm and lower does not.
thanks

Many people on here run +35 offset all around without any issue. Since his car doesn't have the larger caliper up front he won't have any clearance issues. 9.5 rear is the norm when upgrading a staggered wheel setup. Hector is even running 10" in the rear without issues, now once he lowers it he'll most likely have to roll his fenders for them not to rub. But if you search through this thread, the +35 offset 18x8.5 & 18x9.5 question has been answered a trillion times and many have posted pics of them fitting fine.
