2013 Mercedes C300 Luxury 4matic
Can I stagger my 2013 C300 Luxury 4matic?!
hey guys so this is my first time using this site. I've read a few post about this topic but still not clear. I have a 2013 Mercedes C300 Luxury 4matic. I've been customizing the appearance of the car, and I lowered the car with Lowering springs made for 4matic models. I just purchased a set of 18" c63 wheels that came off a 2012 C63, now I noticed that it's "staggered" and wanted to be sure that it's ok to put them on my car. I don't care about voiding warranty as it's done in another 1500 miles, but I don't want an major issues happening because of the wheels. I want to put new tires for the wheels. Please leave the best suggestion as far as what size I should go with for my car being a 4matic and a luxury edition. Please no smart remarks as I am only trying to find out some information. I appreciate any correct information.

Please provide us with the data of your new wheels.
I guess you know where are these(curved behind the wheel).
Give these info so the suggestions we make are more correct .

What are the specs of the tires? They need to have the same (or very close to, within 3% I believe) rolling circumference or the AWD system won't be happy.
Stock staggered setup for 4matic sport models is usually 225/45/17 front and 245/40/17 rear.
If you punch those numbers in with the tire aspect ratio calculator here, you'll see that they have a very similar number of revolutions per mile, with a 1.2% difference. What is the width of the front and rear rims?

That is false, my stock C350 came with staggered wheels and tire. All it takes is the same Wheel/Tire diameter. I have larger tires in the rear.

Example: My Porsche has staggered WHEELS, different widths. However the tires are the same "circumference", fronts are 205/50/17 and the rears are 255/40/17. Fronts revolve 803 times per mile, and rears 806 times (that's the key)

It is accurate! you are interpreting it incorrectly...what he stated is that the "same size tire" CIRCUMFERENCE be nearly the same!
