I have/had those rims on my 2009 c300 sport (4m) with same offset. They fit, no problem. For tires, I ran Front: 235/35/19. Rear: 265/30/19. I'm sure your set up will be fine.

Just a side note, IMO those rims kinda look bulky on the C. It's hard to explain but the spoke size/spread didn't look as good as I hoped when I bought those. Don't get me wrong, they still look good, but I ended up buying another set of CL63 style rims. They look more sleek and have that "chop down the road" look while your driving.

Ok...a was also considering those wheels from USA rim. Can you post a few pictures? I'd like to see how they look on your car, also... do they come with AMG engraved on them. I've seen a few replicas with the AMG sticker... that looks cheesy.

Bunkx9

You'll have to give me a couple weeks to put on the CL's. We're barely above freezing here in Michigan and my winter wheels are still on. As for the AMG stamp, the wheels you're looking at did have the AMG stamped into the rim on my set. However, my new CL's came with the little rubber encased AMG logo inserts (AKA sticker). Unless you're "in the know" and specifically look for the logo, nobody notices/cares. And the people who do know, figure the rims are knock offs anyway if they're on a C 300 or 350. Personal preference governs that choice I guess. I'll see if I can dig up a pic of my car with your wheels on it.

BTW, whatever set you go with make sure you get the correct lug bolts for them. Conical or ball seat, and the right length.

Okay I ordered them today.
19x8.5-9.5. +45. 235-35-19 / 265-30-19

I really wanted the 507 edition wheels, bur everyone sold out. Apex said a guy bought them all. Wheel pros said they will not be getting anymore. So I settled for these.

Post some pictures when you're done

Hopefully you bought some TPMS as well unless you plan on re-using the existing set. Found a few wheel dealers that didn't even mention this piece when discussing wheel/tire combos especially when offering to mount and balance them.

I will have to roll with the light on for a little while. They would sell for an additional 500...no way I will buy some on eBay $171.99 for all 4

I put one of my wheels on to make she I liked the look of the all black wheels. Here's a quick pic

XZOTIK,

Another tip, inflate your tires to 40psi front and rear. Don't use the MB recommended specs. I consulted Tire Rack when I bought my Goodyear F1's and they told me 42psi at the MINIMUM. 40 will allow fluctuation up when the tire heats up. Another member on here enlightened me on this matter.

BTW, you're gonna love those wheels. Good choice.

xzotik1

Sweet!!! I found these pictures on the net. But I think I will go with red calipers..

xzotik1

Thanks for the tip... per UPS my wheels will arrive on Thursday... until then I'm on 4 jack stands, and praying that the car don't fall

Bunkx9

Where did you put the jack stands? I haven't figured out how to do this because the floor jack uses the jack points, so I have no idea where to put the stands... Any tips?

xzotik1

Ok this is very dangerous. I used the factory jack and jack points. I used half of the rubber jack point to jack the car up and the other half to ease a jack stand under. I did this on all 4 sides. I has been this way since march 25th. Putting the wheels on will be scary.

Bunkx9

Yeah that's pretty risky. I just finished doing my wheel swap. Too dark for pics tonight but will post some tomorrow. It looks ridiculously cool.

Post some photos soon Looking to put some 19x9.5 +44 in the rears, and this will help me figure out if it'll fit for sure or not.

Bunkx9

The pics aren't the best and my car is dirty, but I wanted to post a pic in a timely manner. I need to repaint my calipers and the inside of the rotors when it gets warmer. I'm really digging the all black (IMO, of course).

xzotik1

Blacked out... all you need Is some carbon fiber and red calipers.I also installed kappa's and a 10"woofer with a kappa five pushing it all, also I've hidden a parametric eq in the glove box. I want to post the install video but its taking forever to upload.

xzotik1

You got it Chris...I will post pics soon.

Bunkx9

I found this pic (kinda crappy, I know) from back in 2008 when I put my original set of wheels on it.

xzotik1

Your wrong for that Brabus sticker...lol

Bunkx9

I had a really nice Rockford Fosgate/JL/Alpine system in my 07 Tahoe. Loved that ride. I was kicking around the idea of painting the calipers red or yellow but will probably stick with the black/black theme. A lot of members on here will tell you not to do it because they're stock calipers and "tiny." Then turn around and tell you to spend $2,000 - $3,000 on the AMG big brake upgrade instead. Which I don't really get, unless you plan to run your car on a track. But if you're running a C300 or 350 on a track, lmao.

Bunkx9

Haha, I took that off 5 years ago. I actually didn't want to post the pic for that exact reason.
