Offset is 35.
I have 1 finger gap in the rears, and 1 1/2 finger gap in the front.
The 05-07 C230 Sport's have decent factory settings, so I chose not to lower the car, since the roads here are pretty bad in Houston.

Nope, no spacers. I talked to Ed from Habor Motorsports and he helped me to choose rims that would require no spacers at all.
You might get some slight rubbing from the rears if you're going 80mph over a dip in the highway, or some rubbing if you're turning your wheels slowly over different grades, (like going out of a multi-story parking garage where you need to do full turns while going up or down) but otherwise, it drives perfectly. I don't even really care for the small rubbing issues, since it requires those 2 situations for it to rub.

Thanks!

C32dood, the car looks great! One of the very few Maya wheels that I like.
Take the front license plate off! Plus, South Bay Mercedes is terrible! Don't take your car for service there.

And I hear you loud and clear about lowering and living in a city with crappy roads. If you think Houston is bad, you should come drive around Kansas City sometime. The freeze-thaw cycle and a city that believes "deferred maintenance" should be standard operating procedure basically results in a moonscape. I'm nervous enough rolling around at stock height on 18's (in the summers).

Here's mine. I was actually waiting for the warranty period to expire b4 doing anything. The tires were worn out n needed changing though. So I decided not to wait anymore.
List of things done so far is:-
1. CL style radiator grille
2. Flat bonnet emblem
3. K&N intake
3. Eibach suspension
4. AMG dual pipes
5. 80% window tint
6. 18" BBS RS-GT wheels
7. 225/40/18 front tires. 255/35/18 rear tires
8. Red engine cover
Did the red engine cover myself with plastic paint.
