C300 BLACK

I have a chance to buy these

SILVER
BBS CH 19X8.5 ET45 FRONT AND 19X9.5 ET45 REARS.
OR
MATT BLACK
BBS CH 19X8X5 ET 45 ALL ROUND

I'm more leaning towards the Matt black as I want a black on black look. Only problem is, the black set don't come 9.5 staggered rear.
What would you guys do?
Thanks

10" wide wheels will fit assuming you get the correct offset (and the right tire size). These guys are running +55 offset with no problems:

I'm thinking about buying a set of wheels from UK but want to make sure they will fit without rubbing.

Front 19X8.5 (42mm offset), tires are 235/35/19

Rear 19X9.5 (40mm offset), tires are 235/35/19
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks

This looks like a very aggressive fitment.

ET that fit front with minimal rub should be +44 and same for the rear.
The tires your running is taller than factory so your speedo will be off, and will be slight stretch in the rear. For the rear your ET should be in the +50
your fronts should be no lower than +44.

I will have to double check if they changed in the 09's.... anyone know?

The Fronts should work out fine, but may rub a little like mine. The rear will be a stretch fitment, but should fit. Why the tire setup?

if your ok with a stretch look, it would work. I would wait for someone else to chime in since I have not had the experience with this setup. But from the math perspective it should be fine. Just beware of potholes.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm afraid that will rub onto the back.
It might be better?

Quick question for the ones that know...

I'm looking to buy a set of wheels for the winter and found these but I'm not sure if it fits...

They are original Mercedes wheels, 17x7.5 et37.

Will these fit my 2012 C300? I am running on H&R SS springs...

Thanks in advance.

C-350 2010 RWD

Hi guys,

I've read almost every pages of this thread and I don't feel less confused than before I started haha!

I have chosen a nice set of wheels for my RWD C-350. They are 19's (8.5 +45 front and 9.5 + 48 rear).

I have a stock suspension but thinking to go with coil overs this next spring (pretty positive I'll do it).

I have read people using 225/35/19 fronts and 255/30/19 rears. Doesn't this make the fronts higher than the rears? it seems weird to me..

Q-1 Anyone reckons it would make a better fit using 215/35/19 in front?
Q-2 Would it be possible to go a little wider on the rear like 265/30/19?

Thanks for the answers!
Regards,
JM

Then I might change my mind and go with 225's in front... I like the wider look on the rear, just can't help it :-)

What about 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear?

Anyone has ever tried that combination? Would there be any inconvenients using that combinations?

Cheers,
JM

Here is the link for the set of wheels I was thinking to buy.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/130641147616...84.m1423.l2649

One thing is sure: They are really cheap. But I like the look since my car is black I think it would make a nice match. Different than the originals, more aggressive look but still has a Mercedes kind of looking. I'm sure they'd look awesome on my car with a lowered suspension :-)

Thought I might share the link, even though everyone has different taste let me know what you think!

I am using that setup 235/35 265/30 on mine. Your only problem now will be your ET and what brand tires you are using. I have a little rubbing up front on dips, but I'm lowered 24inches wheel arch to ground all around w/ a -.08 camber all around.

My car has not been lowered as of yet but I will do the job next spring using coilovers. Thanks for the inputs because this is a crucial step (choosing the right size of tires) before the following step (lowering the car). Is your back spacing similar to mine on your wheels? You reckon I am going too wide? You figure I will need to roll my fenders before I drop the car? Thanks mate.

I would like to lower my MB though it has an already good stance but what makes me nervous is the Dynamic Suspension that is on my car. I am not sure what springs will do to it or if it will be smart to play with this system's height setup. Anyone sitting on the new suspension that has lowered their car? Is there any problems that you have encountered?

The picture below is my Mazda6 GT sitting on 18's, both front and back tires are 225/45/18 without any offset. Rear fender was rolled to allow the larger tire, the front was ok as it accepted the larger tire and rims.

Another side view

Falken 452 or any V tread tire are the worst for these cars. They will scallop and wear un evenly and become loud in no time. The new falken 453 is what you should be running.
