I TRIED SEARCHIN OK!!

I understand searching is something VERY ENCOURAGED here
and I didnt take it lightly but after endless hours and too much excitement being bottled to buy these wheels I desperately seek your help!!
I want to know if these wheels will fit my car...

I drive a 2006 c230 with sport brakes.
I am not very experienced with offsets and thats why I am here now..

Do not stretch tyres like "cool" Mike is running esp. on rear. It is operating tyres outside their design parameters and can lead to failure. An extremely dangerous practice!

Mate by stretching tyres do you mean narrower tyres that tuck in more so the rim is exposed, if so, how dangerous is this?

Thanks, Phil

Ha I think yohan was stating that he thought it was cool that I helped him with his questions since he pm'd me, not trying to imply I'm "cool" guy mike.

Do you even know what I am running on my car? Currently I am running 19x8.5 19x10 235/35 265/30 tires. If you are refering to my sig only difference is the rears are 10.5. I hardly call that extreme stretching. If I personally thought it would be dangerous I wouldn't put it on my car especially since my kids ride in there.

All tires are not created equal same goes for roads and all the other variables that could lead to tire failure.
