8.5" et35 should fit IF the spoke doesn't hit the caliper (depends on the design)
9.5" you will need at least et35 to not rub on the inside. you will need a 5mm on the rear if you do get the et40 rear.

Frank ive been looking at these wheels for a while but im afraid to get them and not fit over the damn caliper, do you know if these will work or if i need spacers? or maybe i just need to ask for the offsets you listed above?

the link shows wheels for SL. they will not fit the W203 with those tires. however if they do have 30-35 offset wheels the design certainly looks like they should have no issue with the caliper.

So i could get the wheels in the right offset and they should fit, right? I called the company and asked them about it and they said the wheels would have no problem fitting over the caliper, but i always want to make sure with someone on the forum because i dont trust them, lol
BUT, i would need to get different tires, so i would need a shorter sidewall, correct?

I run the 18's 8.5's in front and 9.5's in rear with 225/40's on front and 255/35's on back with a front ET of 32 and rear of ET of 38 and everything fits perfectly.

Shouldnt it be 255 and 285 instead of 225 and 255? i thought 225 and 255 were the stock sizes for the 7.5" front and 8.5" rear? or maybe im just being retarded, someone please help me out![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)

that'd be alot of tire and it'll probably rub. With 225/40 & 255/35 tire size, it'll be close to factory rotation, so the speedometer wont be too off. and its 225/45 and 245/40 for stock sizes for the 17x7.5 and 17x8.5. 225/40 & 255/35 is perfect size IMHO for 18x8.5 & 18x9.5

thanks for the help guys.
im still a bit confused about the 225 255 though, i thought those numbers were supposed to be width of tire, so if stock 17's at 7.5" have 225 tires, how does a 225 tire also fit on a 8.5" rim? sorry if this a noob question but i have to know.

just because its 225 doesnt mean it just fits 7.5 tires... it can fit 6-8 inch wheels, and maybe 9- 9.5 if you want that really stretched look.
heres a link from bridgestone on my tires the RE760 and it tells you the approx wheel width each tire can go to, these are just the recommended width but you can wider and use the tires but it'll give it a stretched look.
GO to the SPECS link
