Where cani find what sizes will fit?? there is over 200 pages lol

i'm looking at a 18x8.5, 5x112mm

i have a 2005 c230

same for all 4

phister

if you have the sports model I'd go with staggered fitment but thats me.

if you're looking at 18x8.5 you'll want 5x112, 66.6 hub bore. as for offset you can go from +25-+30 up front depending if you have the sport calipers. If you do I go +25-+28 so it'll clear. As for the rear you can go from +38-+20 depending on how you want the wheels to look. Do you want a flushed look?

Search through the pages and usually the first couple or so pages list the specs most use or you can go back a few pages and many newbies are asking the same question. You can also use the search function.

Thank you for the response.. I did try and take a look, there is just so much information....

So confusing about the bore and all that... I'm looking on Kijiji and someoen is selling these rims 1 hour away from me

got em down a little so i'm very interested.. just not sure if they will fit

thanks for the response man, really appreciate

derecklouthood

sorry i have the non sport model as well...

phister

you wont get the 9.5 to fit in the front. but the bore, offset, and bolt pattern are ok

derecklouthood

Nice thanks man... i think they will look good.. But it's all 9.5 all around it says. so they wont fit int he front no matter what... fak

All i need is tires off tirerack or something.. Just my car is blue and i'm contemplating these or white ones... But 18 is big enough for me

Thanks seriously, always loved your car and read a bunch of your threads, which some helped me personally

Why i love this site.

They made non sport c230s in 2005? For some reason I always thought all c230s were sport models in 2005-2007, guess I was wrong

phister

It depends on production date of the vehicle

faddii

is this also the same for the coupe or no?

phister

I'm running 18x9 in front and 18x10 in rear but had to do MAJOR fender rolling and pulling too get them to fit.

phister

Which question are you referring to?

faddii

size fitment for sport models or is it sport suspension!

faddii

i want to go either 16" or 17" x 10 in the back and 9 or 9.5 in the front

Peydidy

Only fitmet difference when it comes to sport vs non sport is the BBKs on that the sport model has. Because of the BBKs we need to run wheels that will clear our breaks so we need lower offsets. The sport suspensions just a lower ride high, wont affect your wheel spec options to much.
Why would you go 16? thats too small, I think 17s are also pretty small, I think 18s are the perfect size for our car..even though I have 19s I still wish myn were 18s, cheeper tires, less rubbing, and you can lower more.But 16x9 and 16x10 just doesn't sound reasonable or real to me. Don't go 9.5 in the front that wont work and is going to cause you alot of tassel

phister

on reason asking if its sports or not is because of the larger caliper in the front of the sports model. You need a lower offset so that the wheel doesnt hit the caliper.

You'll be pushing 9" in front and will need A LOT of fender rolling and pulling to get it to look right and not poke out too much plus some negative camber to get it to tuck under the fender or you'll be cutting the tires on bumps. 10' in rear is doable as well but again fender work is a major as well if you plan on lowering it and to get it not to rub. You'll have to do some grinding of the bumper bracket as well plus make sure you get a good offset or the wheel will be hitting the inner fender wheel. in both cases you'll need to stretch the tires a pretty good amount to get them to tuck in the wheel well. Just be prepared to either do a lot of rolling and pulling yourself or paying someone to do it for you.

phister

also if you go too high in offset in the front you'll be smelling burning rubber when the tires are getting chewed up by the struts and springs hitting it. but that just might be my issue being so low and those running KWs

faddii

our coupe resemble the corrado in a way, so i want to achieve this same look. i want the wheel to push out and not be tucked under. That is why i want to go 17 max and not 18 bc i do want to lower the car. i want to avoid rolling the fender and be able to use spacers to achieve this same look.

these guys managed to fit 10.5 in the back and 9.5 in the front. see how the wheels stick out. imagine this same setting with smaller sized wheel like 17" or 16". you will even be able to drop lower.

phister

Car is either on stock height or barely lowered. If you want the look of the Corrado you'll still need to roll the fender our get your spring rate super stiff and have your dampening set to hard so that its static. You'll also need to really stretch the tires so it doesn't rub. Instead of using spacers to achieve your look just get lower offset. The problem with our fronts is that if you go to low you'll be grinding the frame, I have the worn off paint to prove it. I'll have to go 215/40 if I want to drop my front more so nothing is making contact.

Finally got em on the wagon. Quick iphone pic. Will post some more when I get a chance.

phister

I see a little fender gap. Time to go lower lol

FrankW

raised my car up.

faddii

Thanks phister and pyedid for your info. Is a lowered offset better recommended for our suspension than spacers?

glocati

ha ! i'll spin the front down a bit in your honor when i swap center caps

SkankZ

Looking good Frank! Why the raise? Look like the same height in the front for mines. I'm too lazy to raise up the rear because it's impossible to raise up H&R in the rear without removing things /laziness.

The more I look at your car, the more I like the carlsson bumpers
