C350 Wheels Fitment

Hey guys, I need some help. I'm looking into buying a replica 17in set of wheels. The wheels specification that I'm looking at are 17 by 8.0; offset +38. I want to use my stock tires, which are front 225/45/17 and rear 245/40/17; please advise if this set would fit my car without any problems. Thanks in advance.

All else is fine, but the offset is low. That is E-Class territory. The C wants at least mid 40s. My 17x8 at all four corners are +44 from powerwheelspro.com, an excellent vendor.

Hey man thanks for the info; I looked on the website but they don't have the finish that I'm looking for. I would like something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321185719068...84.m1423.l2649

Thanks

Link didn't work. Just be careful with aftermarket wheels. Some are high quality; some are not. Look for TUV and/or JWL certification for the sourcing plant. You might not find the perfect finish in a high quality wheel.

Actually, I think 8" wide and ET38 would work perfect in front and rear. You even have room for a 5 mm spacer or so in the back.

8" with ET38 only sticks out 1mm more than 8.5" with ET45, which is a common square setup on the W204.
