Suspension is accuair e-level
I wanted a clean look and not over done. If I could I would probably have gone with 19”s

I have a 2010 C300 Sport with dynamic handling package. It currently has 18" stock wheels with 255/35/18 tires in the rear and 225/40/18 tires in front. I am going to purchase some KONIG OVERSTEER 19x8.5 5x112 ET42 Opal wheels. I want the same size tire on all four wheels. Should I put 245/35/19 or 235/35/19 all the way around? Both sizes are within 3% difference from stock so I am good there. Will the 245's rub on the front or will they be fine? Thank you for your help...
Hi Im new here. I just wanted some help knowing if some 20x9 +40 Front 20x10.5 +40 Rear Would they fit on a stock 2008 C350 AMG?
dont mind rolling fenders and tire stretch. Thank you in advance for any input.
First of all bro sick setups all around. I'm looking for something similar.
What was your setup looking like when you ran these wheel and tires? Bagged or Full coilovers, rear camber kit? Rolled and pulled fenders?
I'm just very curious cuss I really like the way that looks.
Before springs should all fit fine, after springs rear will rub

I'm lowered on H&R C/O's. 25 inches TDC fender to ground all around with a -.80 camber all around. Not sure if I typed the camber reading right, but I'm under a full degree of angle. I rub minimal with just me driving in certain dips, but when the car is full, almost all corners rub minimal on dips or humps but acceptable. At this point there is no apparent tire damage from the rubbing, so that is very very minimal rubbing.
.... From all of my research those sizes should both work front and rear with both being a +45 offset but alot of people say that when 4 adults in the car the rear will rub on bigger dips in the road with the H&K sport Springs but I'm only speaking from a ton or research vs first hand experience! My wheel shop suggested 8.5 front on 45mm and 9.5 rear with 45mm with a 225/35/19 front and a 255/30/19 rear tire and I also plan to get my H&K Sport springs installed on my car as well and with the wheel shop knowing that ahead of time they suggested I get a 225/35/19 front and a 255/30/19 rear and so I ordered a 225/35/19 front and a 255/30/19 rear both in a Toyo Proxies 4Plus All Season Ultra High Performance tire with a 45k mile warranty on them so.... just ask yourself if the 10mm of extra tires width in a luxury car I'd really going to make enough difference to make up for all the potential headaches and then see which size tire you feel you wish to order! That's how I approached it! Hell I wanted a 245/35/19 front and a 275/30/19 rear but my *** was quickly shut down on that there lol ... I just havent gotten my wheels and tires mounted on the wheels or on the car either one yet! Just ordered my tires since we were debating on that same fitment stuff as you are right now since I wanted as wide as I can get but of well it is what it is and a good high end ultra high performance All Season tire on all 4 corners all brand new on brand new freshy balanced wheels is going to make for a beautiful look and a beautiful feeling
Can these 19X8.5 +45 / 19X9.5 +48 5X112 66.6 sized rims fit my c300? And if so which tires should I use so i don't rub.
Those should both fit perfect! I Just had a Rim Shop figure all that stuff out to make sure my car wont rub or eat tires or wear out my wheel bearing prematurely or anything like that there and they suggested a 19x8.5 +45 front and a 19×9.5 +45 Rear so your rear sizes are only 3mm offset difference from what I just ordered so they will Absolutely fit like a glove on your car! These are the wheels I just ordered for mine and now I'm just waiting on my 255/30/19s and my 225/35/19s Toyo Proxies 4 Plus ultra high performance All Season tires to arrive here at the house and then I will have my tire pressure sensors swapped over to the new wheels and put the new wheels on the car finally
I've been looking to buy these rims for my C350 but the rears are only in offset 48+ in 19". You had mentioned that you had 45 offset for all 4 rims. If you're still around, would love some advice. Thanks!

that’s a long time ago lol. But as you already know I assume the more offset u have the further into the wheel arch the rim goes. You’d need to know what the stock offset is and work from that. The other alternative is a hubcentric spacer. I never had any issues as far as I recall with the 45 offset if that helps.

Haha, old thread for sure.
Thanks you so much for the message. This helps a lot.
There are a number of big wheel threads, but this seems to be the one with the most recent posts, so I'll try here.
My wife has a '14 C250 Luxury sedan, US spec. From what I can tell it came with 17x7.5" wheels with 225/45s all around. I know that there are some cars that came with 8.5" wheels and 245/40s in the rear. What I'm wondering is what style of 17"s came staggered.
This is what her C250 Luxury has:
Was that style available staggered, or only 7.5" wide?
Or was it is just this style that came staggered in 17"s?

Also in the picture above you can see how it rubs and I'm afraid it won't twist fender in some big bumps.
Et35 18x8j all around
245/40 r18

Yes, you can use staggered tire sizes - some models of W204 came that way from the factory. But 225/40 would not be the right size. Do the math and you'll see that 225/45-18 would match the diameter of the 245/40-18 that you'll still have in the rear.
Edit: I'm curious, what are the brand and model name of the summer tires and the winter tires? That's quite a difference in section width and tread width for tires that are supposed to be the same size!

I unfortunately have nothing extravagant to show here, but out of curiosity with the standard OEM 225/45R17's, can I go down 1mm from the 47ET to a 46ET? Would I have any problems? I found a set of rims from a 2013 Audi A4, looking to just throw winter rubber on them. Specs on www.wheel-size.com seem to match up the bolt pattern, and thread size, but:
i) Audi bore is 66.5, the C300 shows 66.6, any concerns, or just throw a ring on it? Do I need to?
ii) Audi offset is 46ET, the C300 has a 47ET on the OEM rim. Problems?

Much appreciated everyone! Still learning!
i) The Audi center bore is smaller than the M-B center bore, which means the Audi wheels are NOT going to fit onto your M-B hubs. A hubcentric ring can't fix that!
ii) Look up what offset means and I think the answer will be pretty obvious.

winter was Altenzo
I bought new tires so current set up is 225/40 r18,
and for sumer i will bay Michelin pilot sport 4s
Front 8.5j et40 tyres 235/40 r18
Rear 9.5j et45 tyres 265/35 r18
If it does not suit, I will experimenter further. Rear has to look like this And front like this
While I dig through 69pages trying to find the exact size of the wheels im looking for. Would really appreciate it if someones got the answer.
Currently have a 2012 C300 with 17" staggered amg wheels.
17x7.5 et47 225/45r17
17x8.5 et58 245/40r17
The wheels im looking at are
18x8 et32 with 245/40r18
And using a offset calculator I get the following,
Front: Will have 9mm more Inner clearance, and Outer position extended by 21mm
Rear: Will have 32mm more Inner clearance, and Outer position extended by 20mm
Will these be safe to run with the rear increasing 32mm inner clearance? And will they rub?
For 18x8 et35 iz max. for width 245
for et32 you can take a maximum width of 225/235
I have 18x8j et35 245/40 tyres and they rub a little
In short, the combination of AMG Style III R20 8.5"/9.5" ET43 wheels + 235/30/20 front tires + 255/30/20 rear tires should be okay as long as the inner fenders have been totally rolled. But currently I use 245/30/20 front tires, should be 235 though.
So I’m currently looking at a set of wheels for my W204 4Matic sport sedan..
currently on stock height (will be going bags in the future) and I was wondering about wheel fitment for 2 wheels I may purchase
1. 19x9.5 +45 squared
2. 18x9 +10 squared.
I’m looking to get something that won’t require me to pull/roll the fenders, but have decent fitment until I get my hands on some work meisters. If these fit, what tire sizes would you recommend?
I literally can not figure this out and have looked on fitment industries and Facebook pages to see similar set ups but I’m completely lost. Thank you for any help!
