These are 17x8 35mm offset. Would these fit on my staggered setup?
225/45ZR17 (front)
245/40ZR17 (rear)
I guess I'm concerned about the 35mm offset.
Thanks

yeah that's what I thought. So I should aim for at least 17x8 44 or 45mm on all fours for my staggered setup.
I just received my Continental DWS tires today but still searching for wheels
Unfortunately Vassili from Powerwheelspro doesn't have anymore of the wheels you bought and none are available from the factory for now.
Still looking around but can't seem to find any other 44 or 45mm 17x8 that are similar.

Ask for Vince....he used to work with Vassili. He helped me out when I needed to replace damaged wheels. His inventory seems to be a bit different.

I found other Benz replica wheels near my place which are 17x8 45mm offset with a 5-112 bolt pattern. So I assume these would work for my staggered tires?

Middle design looks best to me.
You will be able to keep your staggered tires.

http://www.rtxwheels.com/wheels/rtx-oe/bremen.aspx (gun metal finish)
http://www.rtxwheels.com/wheels/rtx-...des-benz).aspx (silver finish)
I also ordered 4 new tpms benz sensors off fleabay as I didn't want to move the other sensors over. This way both summer and winter wheels will have their own sensors. Not cheap but less hassles.
I guess I would also need to buy new lugs and locks for the new wheels. As the RTX wheels use ball seat, McGard sells complete installation kits like this one for our W204

Do you suggest chrome or black lug bolts with gun metal finish wheels?
Thanks
Raven

I used photoshop to see how these rtx bremen gun metal wheels would look like on my iridium silver. What do you think? or should I try the silver rtx bremen instead?
The wheels image are on an angle. I couldn't find direct side view shots.

The gunmetal finishes look good with Palladium, which is why I bought those. For a silver car, I would go with silver wheels for a more harmonious look. However, I would reverse myself if the silver ones were all painted versus the polished appearance which seems to be on the gunmetal version. The pictures make it hard to be sure. Oh, and chrome lug nuts with either.

I found comparison pics. My goal is also to find something that would be harmonious for my car since its Iridium silver. I found a pic of the silver Bremen:
Silver

Gun Metal
The MANN silver

as a comparison, here's my current OEM mag which I just want to keep for my winter setup
Is the silver bremen better than the gun metal or I should look at other wheels?
Thanks
