MERCEDES-BENZ C 180K AVANTGARDE
Alloy help folks (Have i made a costly mistake?)
Bought a set of Genuine 5 spoke Merc alloys for my C class w204, with 205/55/r16 on them, however, two of the wheels needed replacing...so brought to the tyre shop to replace and then change out the current 195/60/r16 (That have the original wheels and hub caps)
However i was told the alloys i had bought would not fit because they only suit the older C classs (03-07) models
Any advice.
(They mentioned issues with the threads ans fulfillment)
Cant bring the alloys back.....am i stuck with these

You need to figure out the bolt pattern and offset for those wheels.
Here's the info for the W204 per the Wheel Information Thread:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...on-thread.html
C300/C350 (non 4Matic) Wheel Information
Diameter Range
17" - 20"
Width Range
Front: up to 8.5"
Rear: up to 9.5"
Offset Range
+40 - +50
Bolt Pattern
5 x 112
I DO believe the bolt pattern is 5 x 112 for the W203 as it is for the W204, but maybe someone else can confirm. It is possible your offset is wrong.
