That really sucks...
Lexani won't make the rims I'm looking at with >+45 offset and also won't make them in a 20x9.5".
They're
20x8.5 ET+15 to +45
&
20x10 ET+15 to +45
I have no idea wha to do on this one...

I am looking into them now..
But the Lexanis are soo sexy...
Haha, what tires would you run on front and back with the
20x8.5 ET44
20x10 ET55
???
Edited
After all my frustration I will be ordering tomorrow the following
Lexani R-Seven
19x8.5 ET40
19x9.5 ET45
Continental ExtremeContact DW
235/35ZR19 Y
265/30ZR19 Y
These better fit!
I will post pics as soon as I get them... 4 weeks

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.

Is your car lowered?

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.

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!
