No prob, Hogger. FYI, I just took a staggered set of 18" Bremmerkraft BR05's off my wagon. Perfect fit. Sitting in the garage and was going to throw on Craig's List.

Let me know if you're interested.

Do you have pictures that we all can see?

DiceCedes

Thanks!

I'm new and don't know if you know this or not... But the MBZ "replica" wheels that OE Wheels in Saratoga, FL sells are great for the money... However, you can buy their wheels from Jegs cheaper considering shipping and handling... Jegs only charges 13.99 but OE wheels want $89... Jegs has better customer service and will get them quicker than ordering direct believe it or not... I checked and what would have been a "4 or 5 day back-up" for shipping from OE Wheels turned out that Jegs had more pull with them and had them drop-shipped out from OE Wheels the same day I ordered and I had them by the weekend. $498 for replica AMG wheels (17" 5 spoke split design)

Today is the day! On my way to the shop to mount my 19" Maya's!

Would you guys get staggered 18" BBS RS reps in silver or 17" non staggered polished real BBS LMs?

BBS LM's 17x8 et 45 front and et 42 rear with good tread tires (225/45/17) for $1250
or
BBS RS reps 18x8.5 18x9.5 et 35 front et 40 rear $1095 new + $$ for tires.

I say always go authentic but that's my taste. in the words of Shaq "don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk" lol

Peydidy

why not just get brand new staggered LM reps and and brand new tires, it would come about to about the same. I payed 700 for my 19 inch LM reps and 650 for my tires brand new from big O including a mount and balance.

phister

Dang wish my wheels and tires cost that much lol your tires cost as much as one of my CCWs cost.

I say get the authentic roll on them and if you don't like, flip them for more.

JFarhanbod

definitely get the real wheels

Just wondering, for a 2001 C320 will 18x9 wheels fit up front? I've searched the thread and could only find that 8.5 will fit, but 9.5 won't...

phister

I have 18x9 but you need a low offset because the tires will rub against the suspension and cut it up. I have 225/40/18 but might go 215/40 front and 225/40 rear so it'll drop lower and not rub. Also have to do some major rolling and pulling to get it to fit under the fender.

tiga88

yes you can fit wide wheel up front of w203 but you must find the right offset, like phister say above, must find low offset

for 9inch wide get min 29 offset or lower and for 9,5inch wide, get min 23 offset or even lower.
also dont forget to stretch tire+pulling fender

Bill B C320

Is there any way to fit them without rolling the fenders?

I can't seem to find the thread for a long time ago with the offsets of the stock C63 wheels I've got on my car now, so I can't make a comparison. I'm thinking about getting a set of track wheels, but I don't really want to run spacers on them. I think the offsets on these might be a tad high on these, but I'm not sure. I have CLK63 6/4 piston brakes front and rear that I'll obviously need to clear.

Front: 18x8.5 - 32mm.
Rear: 18x9.5 - 35mm.

Also, won't a 255 tire look stretched on a 9.5" wide wheel?

I searched from the front/back about 15 pages in each direction. This thread is way to big now to get an answer quickly.

Car: 2002 C320 all stock

I want to get rims for the car. The current OEM's are horrible looking. I figured 18's would do fine. I am open to staggered or non staggered. Prefer non staggered so that I can rotate the tires. What size should I be looking for. So far this is what I got

66.6 Bore
5x112 bolt pattern

Non Staggered:
Rim: 18 X 8.5 for F/R - offset 25-38 - large range????
Tire: 225/40/18 - 245/40/18 - or do I need 35?

Staggered:
Rim: 18.5 F 25-38 offset ; 18x9.5 R 25-40 offset - large range???
Tire: 235/40/18 F - 265/35/18 R - size correct?

Please let me know how close I am here so I can order some rims/tires. I assume the low offset is being used to get the wheel flush? or is it necessary for not rubbing the suspension components on the inside of the rim? The car is stock height now, but I may lower it later slightly with some springs and do not want to roll the fenders. Thank you in advance for your help I really appreciate it. I will take pics and post up my results once I order and get installed to help the next person.

phister

You can't put 245 in front it'll get eaten up by the struts. 235/40/18 is what youd want for all around on non staggered. offset I would go with is +30. Staggered id go 225/40/18 & 255/35/18 on 18x8.5 & 18x9.5, offset +28-30 front & +32-35 rear if you don't want to roll the fender and be kinda flush.

ftlaudslk

Perfect!!!! This is exactly what I needed to know for the 18's option. What about for 19's? I plan on purchasing as soon I know for the 19's so I know what to look for. Also is there any vendors that sell AMG replicas on this forum that you could recommend? I want a clean classy/sporty look. Thank you so much for your help!! I really appreciate it. I will definitely post of pictures with specs once they are on.

phister

19s are the same but the sidewall are going to be shorter. 35 series in front and 30 series in rear. I'd stick with 18 personally.

Ribo89

This vendor is the best in my opinion. https://mbworld.org/forums/wheels-ti...heels-pro.html

91RS

Anyone?

phister

You won't clear the front. You'll need at least +28. 255 will have the slightest of a stretch.

I used to have a Corrado like that -- brings back memories...
