I have a guy selling me a set of 19inch Forgstars off of his 2008 C63 for a damn good price and I'm curious..how will 19x9 +40 front 19x10 +45 rear with 235/35/19 front and 255/35/19 rear.. look on my*2012*C250*sedan.... I'm new to this whole wheel off set etc...so would this fit well or what sizes should I be looking for??? Or would this even work on my ride?? Looking for a semi aggressive look but want to be able to drop it a good amount without a scrubbing

Anything can be "made" to fit honestly. But are you willing to roll/shave fenders, run a semi stretch tire, or increase negative camber to fit properly?

Because I think the only thing worse than extreme hellaflush is mexiflush when the wheel AND tire poke outside the fender haha.

From what I've been reading that could be made to fit ok. Use the pics and specs from the members here and input into the offset calculator on 1010tires.com to determine the deviations.

I'm trying to avoid modifying the fenders in any way but still fill up the wheel gap as well as lower it 2 to 3 inches lower than the stock height..

FFM

You may need to have someone post up an alignment chart to figure out what the static camber looks like with that much of a drop. Increasing the negative camber may be required. Again though, I would use 1010tires to see the amount of "poke" vs some of the other setups that have been posted.

As FFM said. You'll be poking with those offsets. I'm running ET40 on a 8.5" in the front and I'm flush. Same with the back you want to be around ET55 to avoid them poking on a 10" wide. The C63 got wider fenders so they get away with it.

JSilva84

I really appreciate all the help from you guys..even tho it hurts the heart lol...I was so ready for a set..guess I'm not ready and will be waiting a lot longer to get a nice setup..

FFM

My advice would be take your time and do it right. Nothing worse than realizing you could have done "______" and then chuck spacers in haha.

I'm looking at the Vorsteiner wheels myself. Looks like they actually did their research and offer proper offsets for our cars.

Pains me to purchase a wheel over +40mm offset :cry:

I like that functional but aesthetically pleasing zone of 25-40 offset zone with the proper wheel widths.

Is there a way you can try them on? My offset on my 8.5 19" front is 42 and rear 9.5 is 48. They are really close to the set you want buy. The issue might be rubbing on the inside rather than the fender.

This is another useful site.

Perfect flush non poking and safe to lower on super sports on 19" rims are the following setup.

F 19 x 8.5" wide ET35 225/35/19
R 19 x 9.5" wide ET40 255/30/19

Skinny series tires like Accelera Phi or any other brand is tire that is considered narrow type.

As for 10" wide rear rim lowest offset to run without poking is ET50 but will also need a skinny tire.

FFM

Good info, will keep that in mind myself.

SS springs showed up today actually

to the guy who asked how the 19x9 and 19x10 would fit, here is mine

Newbie here..

I have a 2012 c250 and I just put on my new rims.. stance sc5.. 19s 45et front, 48et rear.. 235 35 19 f, 265 30 19 r..

Im planning to lower it using h&r super sport springs.. will I have any rubbing issue? I also want to put 5mm spacers on the back


Thanks

Becksan

19x?" What width front and rear? It will determine the offset you'll need not to rub. If they are 8.5" & 9.5" then you are not going to have any issues.

Any reason you want to run a spacer? I would avoid running a spacer and just get the wheels in the correct offset.

hoyitsmars

yes 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear.
so I'm clear to take off? i won't have any rubbing issue with my offset and size of tires and rims?
and for spacers... my friend gave me a pair and i just want to see how it will look lol

Becksan

Yeah you should be fine. If you look at the bottom of page 52 you'll see how it looks with 19x8.5 ET40 & 19x9.5 ET42 on mine. Running the same size tires as you are looking at. Yours are higher offset so they will sit further in.

hoyitsmars

I want the rear to look just like yours but my offset is higher than yours so should I use the spacers? Or ill have rubbing issue if I put it on..?

Becksan

Well if yours are ET48 and you throw on 5mm spacers, then you'll end up with ET43 which is almost identical to mine. You might have to get some camber adjustment done to avoid occasional rubs. I have to do it to mine.

aznmode

See my post #1302 regarding rubbing. If 2010 Pre facelift is the same as 2012 facelift then 48 offset for the rear is perfect. I wouldn't put any spacer. This is with 265/30 tires.

hoyitsmars

how much of adjustment?
thanks for helping.. appreciate it a lot.

hoyitsmars

oh sweet... I'm loving the fitment.. thanks. youre on h&r super sport?

aznmode

Stock. But when the car was full load the rear was tucking a little over the tire and did not rub during my 2 hour drive. From the way it looks now, it looks like it will rub but when the car lowers it cambers slightly.

hoyitsmars

oh ok. yah thats how my c250 looks like right now.. 19x8.5 19x9.5 235/35 and 265/30 but I am going to drop it with h&r ss and hopefully i won't have any rubbing issue with my car loaded..

thanks

aznmode

I would do a search on SS spring as some have reported no significant drop and you just screw up your stock shocks.

hoyitsmars

True.. but a lot of people here are satisfied with h&r ss.. im still thinking about it though.. I mean the fitment I have on now looks good and all (we have same fitment) but I know I can drop it a little more..

19s with h&r ss is just really nice to me.. lol.. its not a big drop but I can def tell the difference..

FFM

I don't think it's possible to not get a decent drop out of the SS. Just put them on my Sport 4matic and stock rear pads and still got roughly an inch drop out of it.

Yup, just confirmed with a tape measure to the pics I took prior to the install. Dropped around .750" the day off and settled another .250"+ since which was 5 days ago.

So looks like 1.2 front and 1.1 rear roughly.
