2004 C 230 6-speed Sport Sedan
Linea Corse wheel fitment
Ive been looking to change the look of my 04 c230 sedan for some time now. I have my eye on the Linea Corse BBS Lm Reps. Can anyone provide some guidance on the biggest i can go on these without rubbing or using spacers? I have coilevers on right now and have the option to lower the car a little if needed. Does anybody have these wheels on their w203 currently? whats your set up? Diameter, width, offset and tire size? Thanks in advanced

C320 Wagon
I asked a similar question in another thread & no one responded.
I am thinking about the same wheels (or the ESM version) for my C320 wagon.
I will be going with 18x9, ET40...with 225/40/18 tires...all around.
I see alot of guys going with 225/35 or 215/40 tires, but I think that's a little less tire than I would run here in Hawaii (we have bad roads). Also, the 225/40 stretched on a 9-9.5 width wheel should be almost exact overall diameter to your stock setup.
I don't know whether the wide wheel with high offset will cause any clearance issues w/ your coilovers though. I would love to find out, as I just ordered my coilovers today...but won't be getting the wheels/tires for a while.
Hope this helps, and love to see your setup when you're done! I'm new to MB, so the more info I can get, the better...^ - ^
