I need help with rims
I have an 07 C230 sport with the stock staggered rims.
I am looking to purchase Konig 18x8 18x9.5 5x112. The website wheelfire has them but does not put the offset of the rims.
I am wondering what is the offset range I can have with 18x8 front and 18x9.5 back?
I am deployed overseas right now. Pics coming soon...

My old TSW's were 18X8 front with a 32mm ET, rears were 18x9.5 35mm ET. fit perfect, no rubbing, no spacers, and i am sitting low.
You could go to 28mm ET in front and be fine. rears you could go 30ET and be fine as long as you run 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rears on tires.
I would go much the other way as you probably woudn't clear brake caliper in front if you go to a higher offset, say 33-35+range. Rears, same deal with inward rubbing if you get towards the 38-40 ET.

I am looking at the TSW snetterton's same setup w/ 18x8 and 18x9.5 and they have the same offset. They have them in hypersilver, but I want all black so I would probably just have them pouder coated...
Thank you
Thank you

I have 18x8 on all corners, 35mm offset. The front has no spacers but I went wide in the back with a 15mm spacer. Rims looks perfect and the stance is beefy.

glocati did you have to get adapter rings to increase your hub? I tried to order the Konig Lace online and the guy said that they didnt fit cuz "The wheels need to be hub centric for your car or you will receive vibration in your driving".....
I am probably going with the TSW snetterton's anyway but I just dont want to run into any problems.

Surprised the Konig supplier can't accomodate. I have successfully bought just the centering rings for certain applications from Tire Rack. You would need to find out what the CB of the Konigs is and go from there.
If you go with the snettertons, they will come with the correct centering rings. ( They should...)
Good luck on it, and keep us posted.
