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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
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.

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).

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.

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.
