Well, since the car is rear wheel drive and you're taking away 20mm in width of the tire, I'd say there'd be a difference in performance.

brabus huh... and I kept thinking they were carlsson replicas. Yea, my car is black... I've fallen in love with these. I'm trying to give myself a few days to see if I fall out of love. It'd be nice to see a C with them though

wow, this is the first time I've opened this thread in a while... your sig caught my attention... "C32 Badges," is that supposed to be a mod? your car clearly is not a C32, nor does it have a V6 Kompressor engine... what's the need for the badges? (especially ones that aren't lined up properly) prestige? it doesn't make the car any faster. a c320 is a nice car, what's the need to try to fake people out?

Well, considering that the stock rears are 8.5 and they fit 245's?...Seems logical that a rim that is 1/2 inch smaller can fit a 235 tire. Also, think about people that run 19's. Most setups in front have 19X8.5 w/ a 235 width tire.

It's much better when you have the whole brabus kit.
