After Market Rims Question for 06 C230 Sport (Staggered Configuration)
Hi,
I have stock 17x8.5 (30mm offset) in the back, and 17x7.5 (36mm offset) in the front. All of the rims listed for this model on tirerack.com are non-staggered configuration. I was wondering if someone knew where I could find the staggered configuration with stock specs. Also, the rims should be able to clear the big caliper and the rotors Sports models ship with.
I know some of you guys have pretty decent looking aftermarket sets, I'd appreciate the contact.
Thanks in advance.

the stagered stock wheel sizes and offsets should be in your owners manual.. which is also downloadable from the MB USA site. I did that and copied the page about stagered tires. is this what you are looking for?

the fronts can fit the rears. there's a specific wheel thread that has all the info you need and the sizes and offsets they're running. there's a sponsor on here that sells rep wheels starting at 599. browse around the forum and you'll find it and the wheel thread.
