Hey guys,

What specs do I need to get for 18" tires/rims to work with the C300 4-matic sport?

Thanks

I have searched and have not found a definite answer to what size will work. I am new to buying rims and this whole "staggered" wheel thing is confusing to me.

Wow, what a friendly response...sheesh.
You do need to do your research and get a good understanding of wheel and tire sizing. Like some of the others have said, there is not a definitive answer. Look into plus 1 and plus 2 sizing to get an idea of the size tires you will need with 18s, 19s, etc. What you are trying to accomplish is increasing the wheel diameter without increasing the overall tire diameter, which would throw off your ECU, ABS controller, etc.
