C250 coupe wheel questions
Hi everyone,
Just joined MBworld today and im really excited to find out more facts and look at pics at this site!
I am planning to mod my car slowly and I already have my first question about the sizing/offset of aftermarket rims.
First of all....I am probably not planning to lower my car (sometimes my sister drives it) but i am planning to switch to another set of rims.
Would 19 X8.5 and 19 X 9.5 doable on C250 coupe? what tires will go with it to have the "flush" look? =)
if so....would it look extremely weird and awkward with original springs / shocks?
Looking for some feedback and comments =)

Welcome to the forum. As for your question, start here https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ts-wheels.html
There are plenty of people running 19s on their cars with the 8.5 & 9.5 staggered set up. The main problem with getting rims to fit these cars is the small amount of them with the right offsets. Read that thread and you will find a ton of info.

For your tire question (sorry I guess I didn't see it the first time) 245/35 up front and 275/35 in the rear should give you flush sidewalls. Some tires run narrower or wider than others though. Just be advised, if you do decide to lower the car later, those sizes might rub depending how low you go.
