Rims for my C240, will they Fit?
I have an 05 model and a guy I was looking at buying rims from says the rims have an offset of +42... From what I have gathered I not sure that they will fit or even look right for my car. Need help. Any suggestions. I believe I need an offset of about 30 to 33 and up to about 34 or 35...is that close?

HUH...are you saying I need spacers? Yeah not doing that...I'll just find rims that fit better...if that is what you are saying!
The rims are from Elite: chrome, 18" , like a four tooth saw blade

For sure on 42 you'll need spacers

On the lorinser the spacers and bolts are 119 each
$119x4 = $476 + $100 for locking bolts = $576 (keep that in mind too man)
Good luck

Around ET30 will look great - a range from about ET28 to ET 37 will fit dependent on wheel design & size.
Any doubts ask FrankW - he knows his wheels backwards

This is what the dealer said.......
I measured the wheels for you. the offset is +41.275mm. they certainly should fit your c240 just fine....according to both our fitment records and another colleague of mine who's been in the business 20+ years. i double-checked w/ him after you mentioned that you didn't think they would work. as long as your car is from the factory (no post-purchase alterations), then these wheels will fit. the width of these wheels is 8.5J.
Not going to chance it because I think with a +42 offset the wheel will be way under the car and not even come close to matching up to the edge of the fender. I would think it would actually hit the suspension being that deep....Or am I off with my thinking.
