Depends on the offsets, of course. I don't think W203 wheels fit on W204 though.

203 will not fit 204.

And remember, with custom wheels, remember, just cause it fits one w204, doesn't mean it'll fit all w204s. BBK and coilovers will change the measurements for sizing and spacing.

If you live in San Diego, just take it to HRE to get measured. But they can get you a fitment that will be close to exact if you're not there. Just tell them you want BBK clearance or plan on installing coilovers.

One of my regrets with my custom order was I told them I wasn't gonna install BBK, but now I'm thinking of picking up some Brembos.... oh well.

Hurrah... someone is buying a nice set of wheels.. Finally.. havent seen it around here at all. YES just go to check on HRE for measurement. Or you can just tell them what u want. BBK Clearance should always in your request in case you change your mind after owning it for 2 years. Trust me it always happen and then you say "F**K ME"

It happen during my early stage of building my old girl and because of that I have to sacrifice everything WHEELS, TIRE, VENDER, etc... So, go with BBK ready it wont hurt you a bit. You might lose some LIPS but that is the only downside.

yeah very true. I'll probably jump to HRE next year or so, so not getting BBK wasn't as big a loss, but still
