Hey Guys,

I'm looking to get some new rims, and I was just wondering what you thought of this setup:

Rims Size: 19 X 8.0"
Hub bore: 57.1
Bolt Pattern: 5 X 112
Offset: 42 mm front & rear
Weight: 27 lbs each





They are Audi R8 rims I found locally. Would these look good on the W204? Also, is the offset and sizing okay or will there be fitment issues?

P.s. If these would fit, what would be the ideal tire size for these?

Thanks!

i honestly don't think it would look good on a c300...honestly if i were u id jus go get some CL65 reps or maybe C63 18's...those would look BOMB

Azn_C300

Funny...you and Randy have the same tastes...

micropower99

^Damn that looks nice! Haha, Who's Randy? So there would be no fitment issues with this?

Azn_C300

That's Got_Thang's car. You can try PMing him to see if he had any fitment issues.

micropower99

Ooooh. Thanks man

Wow, those do look nice!!

I wasn't sure just looking at your bare wheels or at the R8. But actually seeing them on a W204, they look awesome. Those are OE R8 wheels then? $$$$ Hmmmm....

Not worried about giving up your staggered setup or do you not currently have one?

micropower99

^ Yeah the pics on the car made it look even better. Is there a downside to not using a staggered setup?

p.s. Their replica's, but they look great.

ive changed my mind...THEY WILL LOOK BOMB...as for got thang's car it looks awesome...jus needs to get rid of the audi center cap and its all good

TB5...

Onizuka

Looks nice! Go for it

I'm gunna try to get them this week, might have to buy some MB center caps off ebay.

Azn_C300

FYI I heard the MB centercaps do NOT fit these wheels and that's why he's still sporting the audi centers.

micropower99

Yeah, I think it might be because the MB wheel caps are too large? Is there anywhere that makes smaller ones?

micropower99

Also, what is the correct offset I need for 19" rims? 35mm or 45mm?

Onizuka

From what I heard, u will need at least 40mm, which means 45mm in your case. Not too sure about 4matic though, but I assume it's the same as the 2wd model.

FrankW

just need to bore out the centerbore to MB spec and you're good to go. same size and spec as got_thangs i believe.

micropower99

Thanks guys

micropower99

Does anybody know what tire size should go on this rim?

Rims Size: 19 X 8.0"
Offset: 42 mm front & rear

I've been trying to figure it out but have no luck. (Newb with tire sizes and all)

Thanks guys

micropower99

Would I be able to use?:

Fronts: 225/35R19
Rears: 235/35R19

*edited* nevermind, I believe you shouldn't run staggered tires on a non-staggered wheels. just go 225/35/19 all around.

micropower99

Thanks man.

Does this rims come in 18"? And where can i get this? Thanks..

micropower99

Yes it does. Many aftermarket rim shops can get them for you, or it's available on eBay.

I found this exact rim from one of the local shop and they even offer this same rim in gunmetal finish (quite nice!).

They said the bolts pattern and offset (ET 45) are good except for the bore size. The MB's bore size is bigger (66.56 for MB vs. 57.1 for Audi) and if I still want to install this rim, i will have to machine the rims and make the opening bigger to fit the MB.

Can someone validate if this is truth or not?
