Personally I dont like the look of 10" rims with ET45, they might work without rubbing but theyll look pretty protruding.

Dude, that's the cleanest, most cohesive blackout I've ever seen. The wheels are perfectly spaced out as well. Nice!!!! What tire sizes are those?

18.5 all around question..

I've been searching this thread, and have a pretty simple question I've been having trouble finding.

My car: c250 2013 (sport), stock 17" staggered wheels.

I want to get Powerwheels pro 818's: 18X8.5, et45, all around.

What kind/length of a spacer for the rears to get them visually flush with the fronts?

I get confused when I see staggered tires, with offsets like 45 front, 50 rear..etc. When the rear tire is larger, I'm not sure how to add/subtract and try and figure out what it would be for my situation, being that the rears are going to be the same width vs. a staggered setup.

thanks!

edit: I'm thinking 235/40 to 245/40 tires all around

edit 2: lol..I think I've answered my own question: A 12mm spacer is equivalent to having a 1" wider tire on the rear (visually, from the profile at least). The reason for this setup is Im looking to give a staggered stance look, with the "luxury" to rotate the tires freely.

Just stock height right now. I'll get the 18's, the spacers, and then see how the fitment is. If I go with 235/40's, the tires might nicely fill the well, and I'll be set! I'm hoping that's what happens at least.

Hey FA, so it looks like your grill is matte black, but there doesn't seem to be seams where the chrome strips would be. Where did you get your grill, and how did you decide on the color for the wheels (did a shop paint them..I was wondering what "autumn black" was?)

The strips are there....just a weird angle when I took the picture. It's a stock star grill I just plasti-dip it.
To be honest the shop that powder coated the wheels suggested that color. The powder is made by Prismatic.

One more question…It's hard to tell from the picture, but concerning all the chrome parts (rear strip and windowdoor trim):

plastidip, painted, or wrapped? gloss or matte?

Hey everyone,
Quick question, I was going to buy a new set of wheels today for my 2009 C300 and I think they should fit but i just wanted to double check first. My car is lowered on H&R super sports springs, the wheels I am getting are 18x9 all around 40ET all around. I plan on running stretch fitment tires too.

Based off that will the fitment be decent? I am looking for something flush but not too crazy past the fender either.

Thanks!
