I figured since the c300 is kind of difficult to figure out wheel specs and tire size because of the high offset it needs that we could get a centrally located thread that has pictures of the c300 that gives size offset height of car etc.
1. Rim size (if staggered list both)
2. Tire size (if staggered list both)
3. Offset (if staggered list both)
4. Stock height or lowered (if lowered on what and approx drop)
5.Rubbing?
6. Make and model of rim.
Thanks hopefully we can be positive and informative here.
NO BASHING! Strictly for informative purposes some of us might not have the same style as someone else and that's fine let it be.
If your looking a "cheap" way to lower/ stance your car. I would recommend getting spacers. I have a 08 luxury and with 10mm front 20mm rear; my wheels are just about flush with the fender. I'm running stock 17" right now.
I don't see how 19's rub on stock... I ran 20's on my 2008 c300 never had any rubs. And on my 2013 c250 now I have 19's with coilovers all the way down it only rubs the rear passenger side on decent bumps. I'm running 255/30/19 in the rear
Nice. Looks good please add

I just got new wheels over the weekend. This thread helped teach me a LOT in determining safe offsets and tires for my C300 sport, or any W204.
I ended up going with Verde Parallax wheels 19x8.5 (+45) all around (unfortunately they don't make staggered, but it still looks good to me), and Hankook Ventus V12 Evo F 235/35 and R 265/30. No lowering. Haven't noticed any rubbing at all.

Is that the oem lip trunk spoiler? I'm so close to pulling the trigger and painting my car white. The iridium silver is gorgeous on my 2011 but man white looks so good.
I think this thread will with a lot of wheel questions, especially if everyone fills out this form and user can just search the thread for sizes/offsets. (Maybe in the "form", request users to post a photo of the car with the current setup, puts a photo to the numbers).
1. Rim size: 17'
2. Tire size: 225/45/R17
3. Offset: Stock (but spacers installed 10mm Front 20mm Rear
4. Stock height or lowered: Lowered on H&R Super Sports + 5mm rear spring pad
5. Rubbing? No
6. Make and model of rim: OEM 17" Luxury rims
I wouldn't say they are better then vinyl. Plastidipp doesn't have a 7 year warranty. My buddy did his car in white. 1 winter and the Plastidipp was yellowish.

Not OEM spoiler. I got it off ebay actually. Was about $110. Installed it with heavy duty indoor/outdoor 3M tape (came with) and silicone sealant. Been on a year so far; haven't had any issues and still feels solid. Looks way better IMO with the spoiler.

That is hopefully the plan because thus car is a PITA to get a perfect wheel set.
