Sorry for the delayed pics. 19x8.5"f et35 / 19x9.5"r et48 with Acellera Phi 225/35 front & 255/30 rear (no rub)
*oem 2014 CLS550 Sport parts wheel (for the record)
Ordering H&R SS tomorrow. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes. I've been told it will rub but if it doesn't this will be a pretty aggressive setup, especially in the front without it rubbing.

Hey! Long time no see! I have TWO stock 18's broken... Let the GF drive the car. I want to put 18's back on it but I'm gonna get some new rims as opposed to going with stock AMG 18's...
WHAT RIM WOULD YOU GUYS RUN on a C350 4MATIC with stock
225F/255R tires on 18" rims?
I want it to be somewhat flush with no rubbing... They're my winter rims but I want them to look nice, I will not sacrifice the look because it will be "cheaper" that way.
So, what do you guys think??
I want to keep my tires because I have a full set and I like the availability and size for winter... Never know whats gonna happen during a newfoundland winter!
I don't like stock poke, I want something more flush for sure...
18x8 ET 40 on stock 225 tires
18x9.5 ET 45 on stock 255 tires
I feel like thats stick not even but I do have a 4MATIC...

Sorry for the delay!
I have been hard at school the past few months and its winter here. I have a few pics of my summer rims but not any good ones. I will post when summer comes around.
However, I am getting in some winter rims sometime next week.

Summers are more aggressive!

Hey guys.
I got a set of E55 wheels - 18x8 et30 & 18x9 et39 wrapped in 235/45/18 & 245/45/18
Would these fit on a 2010 C350? Currently stock height, but considering to lower on H&R SS.
Thanks!

Finished product. No rub on the front 225/35/19 on the 19x8.5 +35. H&R SS.
They still need to settle some. (Day 2)

Also to note, car is sitting up a bit on this side on an uneven surface. I'll take some more on a nice day once they settle on a flat surface to get a true idea. Very happy with the ride quality, handling improvement as well as look and overall feel while driving.

Has anyone expirence the noise coming from the front after putting the aftermarket wheels on? Sounded like sumthing is grinding. But when I took out the bolt it looked new like nothing was hitting it? Is it the bearing? I only hear it when I put the new wheels in? I used the same bolt size as the stock ones except the seated head different wit angle.
Can someone plez help me figure this out

Hi all Newbie here. I have been looking at several sets of wheels but the wheels I like only come in a 19 x 8 1/2 40 offset and 19 x 9 1/2 45 offset. They say that if they go 45 offset on the front and 48 offset on the rear that the centre cap wont fit back on. Have any of you's ever seen centre caps not fitting back on with high offset wheels. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer

Eaturbo, I believe what they're saying is that they are going to machine the hub face off an extra 5 mm in the front and 3mm in the back and what will happen is that they won't be thick enough for he centre cap to grab onto, usually they are kept on by pushing up against the walls of the hole they fit into. Also a big concern for me if I was buying the wheels would be that if there isn't enough metal for centre caps to grab onto, is what's left going to be strong enough to last a decent amount of time? I know people who have had the hub face of the wheel sheer off off alloys and that's not even with a machined face. Just a little heads up, be weary of what people tell you!! There's more too it than you think... Even be weary of this post! Hahahaha. Good luck!

Hey Matt and anyone else that can help me out,
Quick one. Bought Forgestar F14 for my 08 C300 sport and tried fitting on the wheels, and it was rubbing my strut. Any advise?
I am currently running 245/40/18 8.5 ET 44 on the front and 265/35/18 9.5 ET 50 on the rear.
Please let me know what I can do to solve this issue.

I would not recommend running the 245/40R18 with the 265/35R18. You would end up with a front tire that is almost 1/2" taller than the rear tire. I would suggest the 235/40R18 in the front with the 265/35R18 rear. Then the diameter is the same front and rear. This is very important on the 4- matic

H&R SS + 19x8.5" front +35 on a 225/35/19 & 19x9.5" rear +48 on a 255/30/19, full tank of gas, luggage, 4 Pirelli PZeros stuffed in for a buddy of mine, and one passenger on stock rear pads.

MBWorld Fanatic!
I'm trying to get tires that are 235/35/19 (F) and 255/30/19 (R). I'm thinking the rears are a little smaller in diameter than stock? I have 2010 c300 sport.
