Flush with those widths would be Front ET35 and Rear ET40.

So anywhere from say a 10mm to 16mm spacer in the front and 8mm to 14mm spacer in the rear.

16mm would be ET35 for the front and 14mm would be ET40 in the rear. Figured it would be better to give you a range in case you did not want it hell flush then go under the 16mm front and 14mm rear

Ahhh gotcha. As someone who has ran up to 20mm spacers before to clear aftermarket calipers, it generally looks kinda off. But I'm picky when it comes to the wheel spoke design. I can't stand flat or convex spoke designs.

I installed 12mm spacers in the rear with 18' ET45 and it was rubbing my rear fenders... Just installed 5mm that does rub but the look isnt what i want.. I bought 8mm now so if that will fit and look better..

What is the width of your rims? The width plays the key factor when dealing with offsets.

I think you going to need a 50 mm offset in the rear. That's what I'm running on the rear in a 19x9.5.

08 MercBenz c300 sport 4matic
Exclamation please help, im getting new rims and have no clue about offsets.

For some reason when i purchased the car i got a flat on my front passenger side wheel. well actually my girlfriend was driving and when she changed the flat a spacer was stuck on the rim with the flat when she put the full size spare on it was scraping against somthing not sure if it was the brakes or what. Anyways when she got to my house i had a look at the other rim and realized it had a spacer. i put the spacer on and it stopped grazing and has been fine since. Now i looked up stock oem offset for my year 08 c300 sport 4matic and it states 17x7.5 ET47mm offset for front and rear is 17x8.5 ET 58 mm offset for my oem wheels. when i took off allmy rims i realized only that one wheel has a spacer and was grazing none of the other ones were touching. i left the spacer on. I am going to purchase new wheels and want to know it 17x8 with 35mm offset all 4 rims would fit my car, or perhaps staggered 17x7.5 front and 17.8 rear both with 30mm offsets would fit. the 2 sets of rims that i am looking at have those specs, and i dont wanna purchase if they wont fit. pretty much asking do i have to go with stock oem specs in order to clear. especially since one rim has a spacer.

Looking for some opinions - any insight would be appreciated

Looking to buy 19in Vossen VFS1 or VFS2 just can't bring myself to make a final decision. I wont be getting them for another month or two so I have some time. My black 2011 w204 4matic is all stock so far. Considering a drop but not sure if Chicago roads would agree with that. Thanks in advance



VFS1




VFS2

I vote vfs2. Seems the vfs1 styling is far too common.

Both silver and graphite VFS 2 would look awesome on a black C Class. I had graphite on my car before the ones I have now and it looked good! Just wanted something new and went with hyper silver.

But talk to Tiko@n4sm.com and tell him I sent you. He'll take really good care of you.

The rear will not be as flush as it could be it will be sunk in a little. As for the fronts you will have a good amount of poke. It's not recommended to run a 9" wide front.

Lol that would be sick! You can run 10 wide in the front with the right offset but im sure its going to poke. I would love to see that! My wheels will be here wed and I'm sure people arent going to like the color options I went with but its going to look killer
