W204's and offsets of wheels
I know you prefer 19’s but this is what I have. 20’s!

I suspect just cause they weren't some stance or rotiform alloys on a slammed motor, nobody found it interesting to even respond.
It turns out the wheels I found were ET48 all round and had the concave rear (nice bonus), they fit without issues whatsoever on stock sport springs and are nice and flush with arches. 225/35/19 on front, 245/35/19 on rear.
Now need to drop it a touch and I'll be happy, cars filthy from UK salty winter roads so none for the moment.
Hope this helps someone at least
•19x8.5
•+44mm
•235/35
I plan on taking more pictures, once the winter weather passes.

Requesting opinions on these 2015 19" X 7.5"/8.5" w205 wheels/tires I just piked up for my w204 (see below pics).
Some local kid bought them for his CLK 550, but offset didn't work. He agreed to allowed me to test mount on our '08 c300 Sport project. They cleared the front strut with 8mm non-hubcentric spacers; rears seemed to clear, no spacers needed. Everyone I've asked so far say they look great, but most of them drive BMWs or Lexus's...so what do they know. Ergo, I'm here seeking sophisticated opinions. I think they look ok, but suspect I'd like them a lot better if the car was lowered a bit. That means spending another $600.00+ for shocks and springs. The car still drives and rides remarkably well, but I suspect new struts prob in the cards soon, as the originals shocks have 156k miles. I'm thinking Bilstein B4s and Eibach Pro-Line springs. But if I lower, I'm, worried I'll have clearance issues and considerably harsher ride (19s + stiffer springs). Current tires are 225/40R-19, 255/35R-19; offset is 44f / 52r. Wondering if anyone has experience with this size rim/tire or similar suspension mods. Also a couple of questions: will the speedo accuracy suffer bady with 19" ; will the TPMs need to be changed from W205 back to W204? The Whhel calulated on this site says I need to Extend front 3mm and extract rear 6.5mm? Not sure what extends means. the rears seem to clear; is this tool reliable? Thoughts, opinions, suggestions feedback - all much appreciated. Thanks. Fabo
I just purchased new Bilstein B4 shocks and going with Eibach "ProLine" springs front back and changing to stock 10mm rear shock shims to optional 4mm shims, so I'm told will lower the car approx 1-1.2 inches. Will update again after these. Actually the rear shocks are on back-order, so thinking of going with the SACHs OEM replacements. I am quite happy with the stock shocks in terms of ride quality and with 156k miles on the stock shocks, I think their quality speaks for itself. If anyone has an opinion on Bilstien B4 verse MBZ/Sachs, pros-cons, I'd appreciate the feedback.
225/45/17 ET 47 and 7,5J all around.
I am planning to go on 19 inch. The wheels i have in mind comes in:
Option 1
8J 19 inch ET 45 all around.
With this option i would run 235/35/19 i guess.
Option 2
8J front ET 45
9J rear ET 48
with this option planning to go on 225/35/19 front and 255/30/19 in the rear.
My question is: Will these options fit without rubbing? Dont want to roll fenders or lowering the car.
Think i prefer option 2 if these will fit?
Please give me your advise!

The website shows me the differences, but i don't know what to make of it. Simple question for the pros to help a newbie out (i did search the thread, but most are on 18" or 19" and i'm over here trying to stick to 17" with stock tires, so help me out!)
Thanks for any advice!
