285 in the rear is big for a 9.5" wide rim. thats usually a 255 or 265, sometimes 275 but that would be the max size i would run

will fit no problem. might have a tad bit of rubbing in the rear depending how low the springs dropped for you. nothing a tad smaller tire or slight roll/pull cant fix if there is any rubbing

They will both fit and work fine. Down the road when you need new tires dont go with a 285 width in the rear, go with something smaller it will safe you some money also.

Looking to buy new rims. This thread is so much help, both in terms of ET numbers/ offset but also in terms of inspiration. Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Mercedes C300 Sport Edition
Upgrade tire and wheels

Hi:
Anyone can help?
I have a C300 W204 2009 Sport edition with staggered wheels from factory with offset front ET 47 8.5" and rear ET 58 9.5"
Tires in front 225 45 17 and rear 245 40 17.
What should be the best fit in tires size, wheels and offset on 17" non staggered?
can I put 4 wheels 17" offset 35 8" width, with tires front 225 45 17 and rear 245 40 17?

What is a safe tire combo for staggered 8.5's and 10's on 4matic? I am building a set of 19" OZ Futuras and I am considering running them for a bit. I am using www.willtheyfit.com as a reference and the closest circumference I can get is off by 11mm.

Anyone here running 19x10" ET45 on Super Sports with 265/30? Or do I need to go with a 255/30 instead to avoid rubbing?

Sorry if already covered, but I didn't see it in the thread.

Thanks!

Not as wide but I got 9.5" ET45 in the rears lowered on H&R SS with 265/30, no rubbing at all for me. Although I've only had at most 2 people in the car since I lowered her, no one in the back.

Yeah I am running 19x9.5" ET42 with 265/30 right now, as far as I calculated it should poke another 3mm with a 10" wide, so I guess it will be 255 instead.

That looks sweet, would love to see more pictures.

I consider going up to 19"s as well but I'm afraid I might end up regreting it even through it looks great. On 17s now, thinking of loss of comfort, increased road noise and perhaps lower gas Milage. Do or don't? Advice appreciated.

You can check my thread below for many pics. As far as looks go, I think 19's look perfect on our W204's. On stock springs you can feel the road more and with H&R's I have now you can feel it a little more. Nothing jaw breaking though, although I've heard of others complain of it being too bouncy. IMO it was a nice trade off for me cause it looks awesome, and the ride is still comfortable. But if comfort is what you are after, up sizing to an inch to 18" probably won't affect the ride much. Considering the AMG Package comes with 18", probably a slight difference from the 17" you have now.

You should be fine depends on the wheel specs? what are the offsets? how wide are the wheels? this is W204's and offsets of wheels thread.

FYI for all the guys and gals here... the H&R super sport spring is not that aggressively low.

I am a new member and just purchased CF10 19"with 8.5 and 10, offset is 40/52 and would like to get some input from you all expert here on wheels and tires. Here are my question.
- I'm thinking of purchasing tires with 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear, any chance of rubbing issue with stock spring? I don't have any plans of lowering my car for now as I use this for my daily driving and hauling 2 adults at the back.
- Is 245 and 275 is a proper ratio between front and rear to avoid damaging the axle or parts of drive train?
- If say I plan to lower it using H&R SS, any possibility of rubbing?
- Can I still use the stock lugs nuts? Or do I have to get a longer lugs and what size?

Any response and suggestion would be much appreciated.

With 19" 8.5 & 10 - i would suggest going with 235 and 255 or maybe 265 if you plan to use H&R SS. But if you're staying with stock ride height then i guess its fine with 245 & 275

As far as the stock lugs nuts it all depends on the wheels really.

Thanks FAneek. I will try the 245/275 on stock height and see how it goes and if there is room left to lower it in the future. I would like to have a wider stance. I'm buying a cheaper tire for now for test fitment.

I spoke to one of n4sm rep and asked them if I can use my stock lugs for forgestar cf10 and he said I need to buy an extended lug nuts? Any comments on this.

Extended lug bolts. Just not sure about the length though...depends on the wheels.
