Plz I need tips or a picture and someone to point me in the right direction! I have a c300 and just bought 18x8.5 235/40/18 and 19x9.5 285/35:19 in rear.. The rear are huge and poke out about an inch.. Please help what tire is best for this and I have stock suspension

ET35 and 9.5 width with 285 tires on the rear? With the right offset that wheel will fit in the rear my guess is your offset is off by a bit and you are going to need different rear wheels.

Not knowing which version you own of the C300 or year here is the following link that will tell you exactly what the stock offsets/sizes are on your car:

You can then go to http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator

To figure out what size wheels and tires you can put there without rubbing or sticking out.

Well without the offsets we cant help you much. For starters you need a narrower tire.. 285 on a 9.5 is overkill. I would do a 265

ET35 is a bit off from what you are looking for to fit your W204. You should be looking at wheels with offset of around +45.

I think the 35 is the aspect ratio on the tires. However if you did buy +35 in 9.5 you get over an inch more poke than stock. When changing wheel width you have to account for the width of the rim when choosing offset. As others have said, thats a really wide tire, but its much less of a problem than the rim and offset. I'd go return those if you can. If it were rubbing on the struts, or fender we might be able to help. Or if it wasn't flush you can add spacers, but too much poke. Nothing.

Did I read that correctly?? You bought staggered wheel diameters, 18" in front and 19" rear?!? Staggered wheel widths (8.5" front, 9.5" rear) are fine, but staggered diameters are not good. Can you return/exchange them? As others have said, the offsets and tire sizes are way off.

If you got Offset at 35 as your thread is titled you will have a lot of wheel sticking out. Stock are 45-48 front and 48-54 rear offsets.

I also dont understand the different diameter front and rear. From the info you gave us Id tell you to return the wheels as fast as you can .... they will not fit correctly or look right IMO

You need 18 or 19" diameter all around, width 8.5 fnt and 8.5-9.5 rear and off set of 45 all around and you can go to 54 off set on the rear to keep them tucked inor greater

If you meant offset +35 and 19" 285 rear, it might poke out to much. Potentially rubbing rear?
