2006 C55 AMG Wheel Offset

Looking to upgrade my wheels. Does anyone know the proper wheel
offset for my 2006 C55 to clear the front calipers. Thanks in advance.

ET 30/32 front.
ET 35/37 rear.

Strut clearance is the most important front consideration.

The wheels I'm looking@ are 18x8.5 front, and 18x9.5 rear.
With offsets of 30 front, and 35 rear. Will that work?

The offsets are fine. You are going to be very tight with 8.5 & 9.5 rims & I don't recommend stretching smaller tyres.

I suggest a test fit. You might need some fender rolling & high spot trimming in the wheel arches

Ok. Now the Wheel Supply Company is saying I MUST stay with the OEM size
tires even if I go 1" wider front and rear. Does that make since?
(OEM P225/40r18 FRT / P245/35r18 REAR)

Just to clear up some stuff,...

Front:
18x8.5 ET30
225/40R18

Rear:
18x9.5 ET35
255/35R18

*** NO fender rolling required!


The only way to you can do 235 on front is with 19"
Front:
19x8.5 ET29
235/35R19

Rear:
19x8.5 ET29
235/35R19

19x9.5 ET35
265/30R19
