2004 C240/ 2000 Civic Si
Have a couple ?'s about wheel offset and tire sizes.
I think I have made my choice on getting a set of Axis SuperMesh in 19x8.5 19x9.5 for a 2004 C240, I'm also planning on getting the H&R coilovers (will get them before the rims) with a minimum height drop of 0/1 finger all around, and a Brake and Caliper upgrade in the very near future.
Now I need answers to what is the correct offset and tire sizes for this setup with modification above (coilovers brakes) with no rolling of the fenders, and absolutely no tire rubbing at all?
And I've done a search, haven't found a real answer to correct offsets.
Pic of the wheels I'm planning on getting.

the best advice I can give you is get the proper offsets for your car... and when you put them see if it rubs... everyones applications are different cuz theres a lot of factors involved in dealing with wheels that size... if you start rubbing, just roll/shave your fenders... is there a problem why you cant or choose not to roll your fenders?

I absolutly do not like to modify a car in any way that involves drilling or cutting, with my 2000 Si the only thing I added that required drilling was a 22mm sway bar, and even then I was very weary about doing it.
BTW here's a pic of my second pride and joy (first being my Girlfriend of course), I'm a picture *****... :p

And just so I don't go off topic, here's a pic of my Girlfriend & I's C240, had it for one week already.

On my replicas, my 19 x 8.5 offset is 32 and the rear 19 x 9.5 offset is 36. Standard "04.5" drop which is comparable to Eibach springs. No rolling of the quarter panels required. The drop you see on my sig by Brabus-C is exagerated. Brabus-C wanted to show me what it would look like if I REALLY dropped it!

Do you think 35 and 40 offset would be good, or should I run spacers for +32 and +36 offset? And what brand tires and size are you rolling on? Reason I ask is Axis SuperMesh only come in 35,40, 45 for front, and 40, 45 in rear.

Does anyone know if the Axis Supermesh will fit a C32 without rubbing? Also, will they will clear the AMG brakes? The wheels are 19x8.5 front (35mm offset) & 19x9.5 rear (35mm offset).

that place is next to New Century BMW in Alhambra.
the best for you to do is to contact Axis and ask them directly if they have that model you want for the W203 C-class. Or better to go to the store that has the rims available and tested out.
