Who wants to trade rims?

Idk which forum to put this in sincle its not for sale or anything but I was wondering if someone wanted to trade 2 of their stock wheels from 05 c230 with my stock wheels from 05 c230.. I want this for snow tires like so I can have 17x8.5 all around.. So you give me your two rear ones and I give you my two front ones.. I want to make a matching set for winter ..

Now the offset on these should work right? the back ones will fit the front and vice versa?



^^ those

Oh yeah I'd prefer someone in CT or driving distance.. not looking to ship as these are my only wheels lol..

Just swap them yourself on one side and you'll know for sure.

^^ Well I was hoping someone had a set without tires or something lying around but I dont even mind giving away my tires on my 17x7.5 front ones..

Ill swap em to check when I have time since it will take a bit doing it at home.. But would 245 40 17 fit in the front without rubbing? (for short term only)

The staggered setup makes the car look more aggressive, Trey. I think you'll like it. The tires I put on my car with your future rims on it last about 30,000 miles. At your driving rate that works out to... about 50 years. So you should be good, no?

no need to be a smart elf. lets see 30k i think is about two years for me depending on how many trips i go on. where my setup know will go 40k i guess i can live with that.
