Will these offsets work

Sorry guys I'm a newbie but I was thinking of buying some wheels and wanted to know if these will fit with no problems on my 2010 c300 Awd
the back is 9 1/2" wide and the offset is 48
the front is 8 1/2" wide the offset is 38
if they fit what is the widest tires I can go with without sacrificing to much sidewall??

It'll work. Should have searched before making another thread. This has been asked numerous times.

And welcome to the forums.

they stick out a good 1/4-3/8". The wishbones on our cars go in as they go up so it actually clears w the right tires. I ran ET35 for 2 yrs on my 08 but it was tight. 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 out back. fronts are no prob, but backs had to be skinny brand tires. regular brands need 245 to be safe. U wont clear dropped, when i put supersports on in late 09 I had to run 235 to clear and I got new wheels instead, stretch was ridiculos

I have a few pix on here.

No rubbing from fronts. Only rubs time to time on the rear right when I have passenger in the back.

DEEAMG ur rubbing out back because of the profile, they should be 245/255 30 19 out back. I clear w 255 skinny brand tire w 35 offset at stock ride height. If you get 245/30/19 it will work. If you drop the car its not gonna work unless you stretch alot more. Find a good wheel shop and have the hubs shaved 5mm, thats what I did to my Brabus wheels and it saved me

So the ideal offsets would be 19x8.5 45 offset front
19x10 50 offset in rear???? That's what I came up with here on the forum

A lot of people do 19x9.5 with an offset of anywhere from 45 to 50 in the rear.

I'm already running 245 35 19 on rears.

Once these have worn down. I'm going for 245 30 19. Brand will be falkins.

Any way to move this here https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ts-wheels.html or can we sticky this thread? How many offset threads are needed? Sorry, just my OCD kicking in a little bit.

do not go 245 or 255 in the rear. The setup u posted i perfect, thats the right tire size to look good. If you want a matching sidewall thats straight in the back go 275, or u could go 225 up front. Personally i would do 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 like u posted. thats what I use usually and im glad to see u did some reading.........

if you want as much beef as possible without looking retarted go 245/35/19 up front and 275/30/19 out back. Be aware there is no dropping the car LOW with that, unless you ran skinny brand tires. If your concerned about the wife driving, up front is where u want the little xtra. 9 out of 10 times a wheel is bent its up front. When hitting a pothole that is huge the car rebounds and the rear skates over it easily, its the front that has more travel and the wheel is less supported cause it turns and goes up at same time. Its still looks nice in 245/275 thats what I have on moms benz right now I got the same worries w her LOL but shes pimipin haha

What brand and size tires did you end up getting?

Were the new tires rubbing when you had something heavy (like your stock wheels & tires) in the trunk?
