Enkei RPF1 on C300?

Does anyone know if these will fit a C? I'm looking at them in the staggered setup, which I believe for us is 18x8.5 by 18.9.5? Anywho, not too familiar with wheel specs. Can someone help out? Thanks!

I thought an offset of +35 has never truly worked on a w204 w/o fender rolling, choosing specifically shorter tire brands, etc.?

Also, why do you say hub-centric rings are needed for the front, but not the rear? That all depends on what center-bore the wheels are and Chuey didn't mention that so we don't know whether they're required or not.

Do you have the full wheel specs, Chuey? If the center bore is not 66.56, then you will need the rings.

No spacers are needed because as I mentioned above, +35 is already too far out. Sweet spot is in the mid/high 40s.

Having said all that, if you are doing the stanced/stretched/poked thing, then I'm sure you can make these wheels work.

I run +35 18x8.5 front +33 18x8.5 rear wheels with 225/40/18 tires all around

RPF1 wheel specs are available online at the Enkei site, based on that information and the fact our center bore is 66.6 and that Cheuy wants a staggered set up, he would need to run hub rings from the front 18x8 wheels.
http://www.enkei.com/size_chart/RPF1.pdf Alot of this stuff can be found online if people bothered to look.

Incorrect, I'm not sure where you get your info from but like I mentioned, I run +35F and +33R with NO problems and I'm on H&R Supersports and Bilstein B8 Shocks. Do you have any real world exp or just repeating what others have said?

Having said all that, if you are doing the stanced/stretched/poked thing, then I'm sure you can make these wheels work.
See my posts.

I didn't have the wheel specs nor was I going to go searching for them. When people post about whether a wheel setup will work or not, they should provide full specs. That's why I politely asked Chuey if he had them.
As it stands, you already looked up all available sizes for the wheel, including the available bore sizes, hence your initial response. Because you did not mention that, your post made no sense, bringing up hub centric rings out of the blue. Again, that's why I asked Chuey if he knew the bore on the wheels.
As for real world experience, no, I can't say that I've run with +35. I listened to others who did run with it and had rubbing issues (vs just hearsay).
Back on topic, sounds like Chuey got the data/answers he was looking for.

People should but they won't. The internet as full of information as it is seems to have made people too lazy to search lol. I'm not speaking about the OP in this specific though he could've easily found the info, but in general the public has taken to this procedure.

I think the people who have had rubbing issues on +35 wheels either were running 19's or maybe their tires were too wide?

Dont do ET35, it wont look good and youll most likely risk rubbing issues
