I love the wheels; what are they? Also, because it would be my wife's daily driver, what offset would I use if I was to go a 1/2 inch smaller for the front and rear to keep the from being scratched? Would be able to keep the same tire sizes?

Ya I'm defiantly going 18's I need something thats great quality as well as keeping my ride feel nice also i looked at 3piece rims i didn't find one style that i liked. AMG rims are nice but everyone has them I havens seen many C class with the Mandrus Rotec rims and the ones Ive seen online look amazing also its usually the c63 they throw it on online.

*Chatmanr - Going 1/2' smaller width won't help much in terms of curb rash. Just teach her how to drive right lol..
*Newmbmarko - Have you looked at the the companies that see 3 piece wheels? There are at least 30 different companies and all have tons of different styles and designs.

Haha I feel you!! I was the same way! Spend so much time looking for wheels and the right offsets. I found lots of wheels I like but the offsets were always wrong. So that's why I went custom 3 piece

You should be good at those offsets. I got the GF9 in ET40 & ET42 which are flush with 235/265 tires.

Will rims with a 35mm offset fit these tires?
225 35 19 Front
255 30 19 Rear
Apparently my rims are out of stock. I already bought the tires so I'm going to just buy the rims in gunmetal and have them chromed myself. I can only find them in 19x9.5 40mm offset and 19x8.5 35mm offset. The original ones I bought were 45mm
will these fit?

Anyone have a pic of what 8.5 9.5 ET35mm all around looks like? After reading some posts on here I'm worried about the wheels rubbing. I read that there is only a credit card space of clearance.

I tried to put 35et on and it was poking out front and back now I'm going with 45 front 54 rear

My fronts are 19x8.5 ET 35 and lowered on coils and I don't have any rubbing up there. As for the rear I have 19x9.5 ET 40 and only the passenger rear rubs for some reason. with ET 35 it would rub a little more since it would be 5mm more poke.

Will these fit?
Hello folks,
Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia. I recently acquired a Classic-trim C200 Kompressor and would like to upsize the wheels with either of these specs:
Front 18" x 8" ET35
Rear 18" x 9" ET35
Or
Front 18" x 8.5" ET35
Rear 18" x 9.5" ET35
Planned tyres are 225/40 and 255/35 fronts and rears respectively.
Will both specs clear the fenders? There may be 3 persons in the back on some occassions. Not planning to lower it; however may change the spring pads if the gap becomes too large.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks aknedude. Was looking at some old but nice sets of wheels like Carlsson RS and Brabus Monoblock IV. I guess I must look elsewhere. Kinda miss W202 and W203 with their tolerant setups.
