I was looking for some 18" staggered wheels for the 08 C300 4Matic. Been searching since May and found less than 5. I was thinking 19" but I am afraid they will rub and where I live the roads are not that great.

i shot you a PM back...

The choices are pretty limited when it comes to 18" for the C-Class. In 19", unless your car is extremely low, you will not have a problem with rubbing if you go with a wheel made for your W204.

Hope this helps, Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions

19" go for it.. you will have noo problems at all with rubbing if you get the rite tire size and offset good luck

What kind of offset is optimal to avoid rubbing? ET40-50?

When I wanted to get a W204 I was definitely considering the OZ Superturismo GT

Can't find anything for this garbage car. Worst car i've ever owned when shopping for rims.

yes, rim selection is pretty limited with these funky offsets.

For 19" or 20" rims, I would suggest ET 45 at least to avoid hassles..

I looked at those too. I love the multi-spoke rims (remind me of the 19" AMG rims on the C63). I wish they didn't have the brand all over though.
That's why I am looking at these RH rims.

GMP said they have MB center caps for them (around $60).
They have a good assortment of rims for the W204 (not many 18's)

guys i luv that Axis wheels do you think they will rub the defers???? they are 19

19's don't usually have a problem rubbing (keep the rear width under 10"). Wide width 20's are the problem.
