18 x 8.5, 45
18 x 9.5,52

Wow, this looks sick. Definitely my next rims in this size. I wouldn't even lower it, looks good enough to me. How much did the ride quality suffer going from 17/18 => 20's?

wheels
Not trying to hyjack but I see people running different size tires on there 20s. I have spent the last couple hours researching and dont know what to do. I have just got 20x8.5 and 20x10 Roderick rw-2 and was planning 225/35/20 and 255/30/20 tires for a slight strecth but just figured out they are almost a inch taller than stock. I was told to go 235/30/20 and 275/25/20 but the tires are tripple what I was planning to spend plus lower profile. My car is 4matic so they have to be same over all diameter but not sure what to do. Also with a slight stretch would they loose some diameter. Thanks a million

The wheels I just bought are Roderick Rw-2 20x8.5 ET 45 and 20x10 ET 50 for the rear. I was told they just came out with the offsets to fit the new C class. I was brain dead when not considering tires. I geuss it forces me not to go cheap and buy nice tires. Hope it doesnt ride to ****ty. I have never had such a low profile. On my Bmws I never ran lower than a 35. I live in Iowa so the roads arent the worst if you are carful. The wheels look nice. You can check them out on there website. There is a white c300 on 20s in the gallery. I am not planning on lowering the car either so hopefully they fill up the wheel wells. There is a c350 on youtube with 20s and the larger tires wich looks nice but his speedo is probably off.

im familiar with those wheels, I was looking at them years ago and I got a set of euro63s instead, I still run those wheels here and there. I have a set of custom made wheels that are 10" rears w a +45 offset and clear in 19", I ran the calculator real quick and you want a 275/25/20 w that wheel. You want a 235/30/20 up front. Unfortunately off the top of my head the only tires made are by nitto, and they are probably 300+ a piece in that size. Going 19s would have been much easier and been under 200 for rears and under 150 for fronts, oh well, live and learn. U can def get a decent deal on tires just shop them, dont just buy from whomever or local to you they will want 400+ each. One quick point is you said you hae a white C, is your rodericks the machine face w flack windows and chrome lip? If so definitely make ur mind up about color before you mount them, alot of guys on here and myself included arent crazy about black 2 toned on non black cars, I would do one color on a white C. you can paint or powdercoat them pretty cheap especially when new, if you like the look just get tires and mount them. I had a white C in 2008 and did 2 tone wheels cause I was hot in the *** to rim it up, ended up redoing the colors 3 weeks later to white w chrome lip, LOVED IT!

My car is Black and I did get the black accents. I do know what you mean about not looking as nice if it where white.The one in rodericks gallery is white but would probably look better with white accents. I also looked at the euro63rs but they didnt have them in 20s and for some reason I was determined to get 20s last week. The only tires i have found in 275/25/20 are nitto invos and hankook ventus. The Nittos are 360 each for rear and 262 each for front locally and this is mounted and ballanced. I am having are hard time beating this deal by much.
