Hello everyone,

Do anyone can tell me 19" wheels will fit for my C230 coupe or not!??

My 2002 C230 coupe was fited with OEM suspension with Pi-Low Down Sport Spring, i would like to install 19" F8.5" ET35/32 R9,5" ET35/40 wheels with tyres Front 235/35R29 & Rear 265/30R19, will it have any problems?? Will the tyres touch the spring support at the front??


Thanks for help!!

I believe 19's would fit but not to sure on the width..

Dr.Fox

Not sure a 29" rim will fit on the front hahaha, sorry. But seriously, I think that size rim with those offsets will be pushing it

Yeah man i thinku may be ok ,not sure bout the offset,but i have a c 320 an i put 19's on it and i dont have any issues,,,my tires are 235/35z/19 but i dont have any stagger or offset!!!!

I had 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. I ran a 235/35 in the front and stretched a 265 over the rear. It was a tight tight tight fit but it barely fit. I had some rubbing issues on big potholes and dips but it was bearable.
Here are pic examples... Sorry for not having any better ones. I broke the car b4 I could shoot any decent pix.

OUCH!

Dr.Fox

Mike helped me with the sizing issues on my coupe with those very same pics

Dr, any NJ meets coming up?

Dr.Fox

I'm kind of out of the loop on that, I'd be game though...

Umm soo what offset were you running?

posting your rims width ad tire size without the rim offset is irrelevant if some one is asking if a certain wheel will fit.

hey man i have 19s with coilovers.... you will need spacers in the front most likely unless you run 225 and the rear at least 35mm to fit 265

I have 5mm spacers in the front and still get some rubbing over pot holes and the rear I have no rubbing issues

dynomite05

What CO's you running?

joyofcola

I have H&R co's

+35 was ok for me.

They'll clear.

From your selection, I would go with 8.5 +32 and 9.5 +35 with 225 and 265.

Yes, Hans is an old boy now but he still deserved new kicks. 19" Koya SF06s in matt black with Kumo tyres. Very smooth ride, legal, no rubbing. I'll be getting metal wheel cap stickers for the centres as Benz alloy caps won't fit (Koya centres 70mm, Benz alloy caps 75mm). I had lots hassle trying to find any info on whether 19's would fit this model, so I thought I'd update this thread some - might help someone else.

19s 8.5 square set offset 45 run great
