2011 C300 Sport

I need some help with new rims

I have a 2011 C300 4matic Sport, and I got it with the standards 17" rims. I am looking to get a nice pair of 18" or 19", AMG style rims (leaning towards 18"). My dealer said I would need 8" width in front and 9" width in rear (for the 19" rims) with a 19mm offset. He then said I would need 7.5" width in front, and 8.5" width in the back (he didn't mention the offset). I'm coming to you guys because I think you'll be more help. What is the offset I would need for the 18" rims on my car.
Also, I can't find any AMG style rims on Ebay that are 18x7.5 and 18x8.5. Is this an unusual measurement for wheels. Can any of you guys help me find some rims with those measurements, from Ebay or a reliable manufacturer's site?

Thanks for the help guys!

This thread should help. Scroll down to post #20 for the stock 18" MB fitments.

Another one for reference:

I would be careful with the dealer who told you that a +19 offset would work for our car. Clearly incorrect info.

Another round of ICE

Here is a good source of what I have found to be high quality products, but inventory varies and they don't always have all styles. I have 17" 810 on the C and 18" 817 on the E.
