Question Will 19 Inch Monoblock V's fit...

Will real Brabus 19 inch Monoblock V's two piece with 225/35/19 (Toyo FZ4) offset 35, 8.5 all around fit and ride smoothly on a 2003 C230 Sport Sedan. I want to leave the car at stock height. With this setup will I have any problems rubbing and how smooth will the ride be. Or should I just go with 18 inch rims? Thanks for all your advice!!!

Does your car have the large front MB calipers? If not, then they wheel fit. If yes, then you need a thicker hub-centric adaptor in the front to make the offset become ET29. Regardless, there shouldnt be any rubbing.

But I can tell you for sure that your wheels will look pretty ugly without lowering.

Will they fit?

Hmm not sure about your front brake/caliper situation but mine fit wonderfully and I have 19x10 in the rear + low low low profile. No rubbing!

oh yea, you have to roll those fenders to avoid rubbing! and road noise relatively increases...as if the C was quiet to begin with
