I'm with you. This is for looks...but I don't want to lose any of my Mercedes Benz ride. This isn't my sports car, it's my take my wife out and cruise in style car that I'm keeping for a long time.
Now if I had an SLK...I'd still do nothing higher than 18 inches. I don't want my teeth falling out.
Hopefully someday I can get a used SLK to add to my collection, but for now my C Class is my Benz to love and cherish.

4MATIC wheel question
Staggered wheels safe on a 4matic? Interested in the pros and cons of them. Wheels I like I can only find staggered, live in PA and heard staggered wheels get worse traction in bad weather (don't know if this is true or not).

white and whiter
I ran that on my 18 BBS RE. you don't need that much rubber for the 320. 225/35/18 and 255/30/18 will do you fine.

03MBC - Look on TireRack site - select your tire - see specs & they give you revs per mile. Listen to Frank

Question of 18"AMG on on "03 C240
Just picked up a used c240 4Matic. It has 18 inch AMG wheels. I've had the tires balanced two different times and the car still has discernible shake. I've double checked and the wheels are not bent. Car has spacers but I don't know the width of them and they are not hub centric. Any thoughts of removing the spacers to improve the balance? I didn't know whether I would run into rubbing issues. Do I even need these spacers? I care more about ride and fit quality than looks.

2007 Mercedes c280 4matic
Hello I am new here , I've been reading a lot but havent found any clear answer yet, does anybody have staggered rims in a w203 2007 c280 4matic? If not staggered what do you guys recommend, I want 18" but I called mercedes and they told mw that even if all of them are same size, upgrading from 16" to 18" could damagw the 4matic??? Is this true

Correct. I have the c320 sport 4matic with the C7 wheel package (17" 7 spoke wheels/ Michelin Pilot sport tires). Car handles great in dry and wet conditions. Not so good with snow. Don't know why they didn't put an all season tire on the car. Driving wise, couldn't feel much of a difference between the RWD version. I'm not an expert but you shouldn't have any problem with those wheels. Performance in the summer is really awesome! Good Luck.
