I'm looking for new wheels for my c230 sport. I have the vossen cv3's picked out. I was thinking 19x8.5 and 19x10. My current set up is st181 18x8.5 18x9.5. One of the rims cracked so I'm just looking for a new set. I've been talking with some people in some forums but still really confused. I read that the offsets for my car should be 32/42, is that for certain wheels or for all? If that's the case than I know the 20x9 20x10.5 wheels for those offsets but would those fit my car? I'm really confused and can use people's insight here. Please leave any information you might know or any suggestions you guys might have!

the 42 offset is way to high. for most w203's you are looking for 32 front and 34 rear these offsets are for 18 inch rims and 8.5F and 9.5R but it all depends on the look you are going for.

best offset for our cars range from +25-+35 IMO but can go as high as +38. Going lower than +25 is going to need some fender rolling and pulling.

I looked into it a little deeper. The offsets for 19x8.5 19x10 30/36. You guys think I could slap those on no problem? I live on alaska were getting nicer end stuff for my car is tricky. I have shipment setup up for these but I don't want to buy them and pay for all this shipping then have my car not be able to fit them right.

You want 19 inch rims and you live in Alaska?? Are you serious?

Yep!! You think I'm crazy? This is my summer car and she doesn't see snow!

Those are good offsets for those widths. They will work.

SWEET! I'm putting the order in tonight from elementwheels.com. Way too excited for them! Will post a picture on this thread when I have them on.
