W203 C180
9.5" rears on C180 (frankW??)

Hi first of all, i have read this thread:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ld-forums.html

And also the wheels thread etc etc.
Can't find exactly what i need.

Anyway i'm looking at order a set of MHT forged wheels as per below:
http://www.talebtyres.com.au/product...t=&part_no=329

They will make them to the specs i want (if not already made).
So basically i want to know the Offset required to make these to spec for my car.

Im driving a W203 C180 classic. It's lowered 3" in the front from standard height and 4" in the rear. Cant tell you the camber on the rears, but its rather extreme.

Anyway from the previous 20" wheels i had on the car they were 8.5" all-round, 31 offset and cleared everything fine. (however the rear right was almost rubbing on the guard, left was fine?)

I want to go staggered this time.

so i will order:
2x 20x8.5 +31 offset for the fronts because i know this will fit

But would like to try fit 9.5" rears on.
What offset should i be getting the rears made if i want them to fit properly?

Appreciate your help.
