20" or 19" offset please

Does anyone know what is the offset for 20" or 19" wheels for the w204? Front and Rear? It's been a nightmare trying to find wheels that fit for this car as they were telling me the offset is odd??? Also, some of them told me that I couldn't have a deep lip (> 2 inch).

Any comments? thanks

Try TireRack.com, they are showing that 19's will fit and then you can click on the wheel details and it will tell you the offset. They are not showing any 20's that will fit.

it seems like 20" would look better according to other pictures posted on this forum... like the Carlsson C300.

That's awesome! I like it and can't wait for you to install the springs and see the drop.

Post H&R

I noticed the front dropped quite a lot but not the rear. HHhhmm......also, wondering if the rear offset is too strong? What do you guys think?

it didn't rub as the clearance is still plenty. But the tires kind of stick out about 5mm. HHHmmmm....

you might want to get some buddies and have them sit in the back and check if they rub. Looks like it'll be close. If it dosen't rub I wouldn't worry about it, looks agressive.

wheels are great. it's moven (monoblock VI style). Though I don't think they have it anymore. Falken 452 is great tires as well. So far I'm happy with it. No vibration or anything. I will wait couple more weeks and hopefully the ride is lower at the back.

I believe the front was trimmed to be 43 and the back to be at 47. I probably should go with 50 offset at the back. Will see how it looks. I'm not used to this agressive offset at the back, but I can't wait for the wheel manufacturers to come with correct offset for this car. All I know, our w204 has a weird offset.

Offset of 47 at the back?? That is weird. Your wheels look really good, it takes time to get used to . What brand of tyre are you using?? Doesn't look that stretch from the photo.

It will settle... mine did hopfully more still
20's are definately doable. 20x9 all around is recommended by Brabus w/ fender rolling.

Ouch, so they hubs were milled to get the offsets? They should be fine, but I'd always be worried in the back of my head ... like late at night when I was doing 'extra legal' speeds ... that they wouldn't hold up.
