eyeing a 18x8.5 et 44 all four corners. What is the best wheel combo for this setup that won't rub on anything? I can go with all same tires but preferred staggered if I can. I won't lower the car and it is a c300 4matic with current OEM staggered setup (225/45/17 at front, 245/40/17 at rear).

You cant go staggered on wheels with the same width, that would just look awful.

I would go with 235/40x18 or 245/35x18 on all four.

wont 245s not rub at front? Take note I have a 4matic sport if that even means anything about tire sizing for the w204.

I have stock
18x8 ET50 225/40 front
18x8.5 ET54 255/35 rear
2010 C350 4Matic

What is the most I can extend the wheel inward (towards the inside of the hub) without rubbing?
I am going to try and get 20x8.5 and 20x10 but might have to settle for 9.5's...

Thoughts/suggestions?

Just got the wheels and made a business friend as well....


I found out that this guy supplies most of the replica vendors here in Canada and some in the US. I picked up these wheels on the warehouse near Vancouver. I saw the exact rim on a local shop here and was priced at $190 each and I only snagged it for $170 each. I was told if I can market for him every 10 sets I sell I get 1 entire set for free and every set will only cost $650 each (Canadian funds). So if anyone is interested locally just PM me and help me build my rim collection LOL!. This design is very similar with the 817 style of powewheels pro but the spacing of the spokes are less fatter than what they have, offset is 44 not 35 and not to mention not having a sticky AMG window. The AMG logo of the wheels they carry has a slight difference to the real one for them not getting sued by MB but small enough that a quick look and folks who don't nick-pick or not MB ****** like us here won't notice (I did not notice it until I look at it really close). He was different styles and sizesand I will get pictures of those as well. BTW....these are 8.5x18 et 44.

Now I just need to put my mind on the rubber I want then a spoiler then the list goes on...

Do you have any rubbing issues in the front when you hit dips or bumps in the road running 225/30R20 with an ET25 offset?

Question about your setup..Were all the wheels 18X8.5 (front and back same/non staggered), as well as the tires (245-40-18/all same)? I'm thinking about getting some powerwheels pro 818's in 18.5, 45mm offset with Brigestone serenity plus 245/40 r18's. I have a 2013 c250. By what your saying, this should be fine, right?

Thanks

Really?? +25 offset?

I have been told that it has to be like 45F and 55R to work...
This is interesting.

Do you have a 4matic?

I'm wondering the same thing. I have a 4matic and ET25 is a very aggressive offset. Wondering if there's any rubbing in front running 225/30R20 tires.

Yeah I am here trying to figure out if my lexanis will fit if I go with a 45 offset in the rear and a 40 in the front... Instead of 45F 55R...
25 seems REALLY low

Dont go with offsets that low, with a car that isnt lowered it will look horrible.

Go with 45 front and 55 rear if you can.

I was told it will be okay. I like the fact that that the sidewall will have more meet on them than using 35s. The speedo thouhgh will be +\-6% ish off (speedo*will be slower than real speed)

Vic, I can only get the rims I want in offsets up to +45...
Do you think +40F +45R will look alright?
Or even +45 all around?
