Stock 18" AMG wheels are
F: 18x8 +50 225/40/18
R: 18x8.5 +54 255/35/18
Remember though, Hankook tends to run a bigger size than most tires.
225/40 will almost run the same as 235/40
255/35 same as 265/35

Actually at stock height with 18x9.5 +53 he should clear with 255/35/18. Front with 18x8.5 +43 you might want to go with 225/40 given the offset is kinda low.

Okay, Loonie,
The rims are choozen from the website of mandruswheels, so the should fit.....As you know ( i think) those wheels escpecially made for mercedes, working well with the offset....
So you think that at the front 18x8,5 ET 43 fits better by 225/40.
235/40 i might have problems?, when i choos for 225/40there wil be no problem with 8,5 in he font?
As i said before:
Front: 7,5X17 ET 47
Rear: 8,5X17 ET 58
Offset of the new rims are 5mm less, Front 43 Rear 53.
What do you mean by "...Hankook tends to run a bigger size than most tires....."?
Another brand of tire?...recommend.....
Thank you , i'm till looking for information , here is a lot of information in this forum..
Aproxx in 4/5 days the rims will be delivered....
Marc,

Running the stocks 17's for winter and I'm using 20mm spacers in the rear and none up front. No rubbing in the rears but I did have rubbing when I ran a 12mm up front. I am on H&R coils cranked all the way down so the height is about the same as SS springs. You're be able to run a 10mm front and not rub.

I run Stance SC-5ive 19x8.5 +45 235/35 in front and 19x9.5 +48 265/30 in rear and I have rubbing only on passenger side outside of tire. Only rubs with someone else besides driver. Its annoying and I can't figure out why.

It is all stock suspension, no lowering at all. Staggered wheels have different size tires. I got them at premium motorsport they advertise on this site. Good guys highly recommend.

i was on carid website looking at getting Mandrus Stuttgart 19's for my W204 in a staggered setup. this is what the site offered me with Michelin Pilot Sports
235/35ZR19 Y 19x8.5 front
275/30ZR19 Y 19x9.5 rear
won't the 275's in the rear be to much ... and if so why did such a reparable site give me as the only option for running 19's?

Rubbing Issue
hi guys
need a bit of help!!!
I just got my new rims and tires put on yesterday on a 2012 C300 4matic. i did a lot of study regarding the proper offsets and sizes. Finally came to a conclusion:
19 x 8.5 and 19 x 9.5 ET45
235/35 and 265/30
Even went for the 'skinny' brand of tires. Falkens 453
Everyone i talked to told me 45 would be fine with stock suspension. But still there is a bit of a rub on the rear passenger side. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM?

Rubbing Issue!
I had a chat with the tire shop and he said he will bring in 255's in Yoko and also Michelins. Will try them on Monday and see if that helps. Falken 452 are out of stock everywhere and hard to get a hold of since they are discontinued.
I did notice that the rear passenger tire sticks out a little more compared to the drivers side. Will keep you guys posted on the result. Dont understand why w204 has such a high offset!!!

If you are just going to try Michelins or Yoko s drives that's cool too. Hopefully you find a combo that works!

Rubbing Issue! SOLVED!!!
Finally tried 255's in Yoko S.Drive and they seem to have solved the problem. no rubbing in the rear passenger side.
I have heard some bad reviews on Yoko's tread wear specially with German sport sedans but i am willing to take a risk. Will be posting some close up shot very soon. Thanks for all the help guys!
