Wheel Fitment 19 and 20
I have a C300 and I am looking to buy some HRE wheels for it. I'm just a 3piece staggered kind of guy. Not sure what sizes and offsets will work. It's my first Benz and I am lovingit. I've always had an Infiniti or Nissan.
I want 19's or 20's staggered. I'd like to go as wide as possible in the rear. 10's if possible. I want my tires to have a stretched look. Not too much...just right.
Thanks in advanced.

1. front 9x20 offset 40-45.
rear 10x20" offset 48-52.
2. then u hav to body-roll your rear fender(flattened the inside of the rear fender) to prevent rubbing.
3. after doing all this your first test is to seat 3 people at the back then drive around and go through humps and bad roads on moderate speed.
4. if it still rubbing u hav to flare your rear fender.(knock out rear fender to make it wider)
5. if u do no.4, a bit of fibre work is required for the rear bumper.
my advice tyre size shld b 225/30/20 front and 265/30/20 rear.
a lot of work huh! but is worth it. so for looks i would go for 20". for quality ride and handling 19".
hope it will work for you...
