There is no way you can get a concave wheel like that on a W204 unless it's an AMG or the wheels are poking out and you stretch the tire.

No tire stretching, no rubbing and the wheel is NOT poking out, the rear is 20x10 +55 perfect offset for our c-class. Oh and no spacers need it!!! Just Perfect fit and trust me I do NOT like it when they do stick out….

Yes, 20x10 +55 is mint for the rear of these cars.

A 10" wheel with +55 offset will have a concave of 1.5" or MAXXX 2". That really isn't much.

Basically you have 10" wheel which is 5" inside and 5" outside. With a 55mm offset we are a little more than 2" towards the face. Then you need to take into consideration the mounting pad and spoke thickness (which better be at least 1.5" for safety's sake) which leaves you with about 1.5" of concave which is pretty flat.

Correct me if I'm wrong (hopefully I am cause those wheels look DOPE)

I couldn't find any pics of that W204 on the with the mega concave +55 offset 20x10". you can do dirty concave on W203 on any other benz except the W204. I sell over 50 000 wheels a year. I'm pretty certain of my calculations.

I'm looking forward to October 15th for those pics to come out.

That pic up top is a photoshop btw..

Why is it that all the other promo pictures are clear, with the exception of your W204? You can hardly see anything...

This wheel is a little less concave than the 20x10.5 wheel we offer. But not by much
