Stock 17" wheels
These are the wheels I bought these are for the rear 18"
Rear wheel
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 .

If they came right off a C63 they should be in spec just fine.

Atlas Grey

Agree, They should bolt right on with no issues

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?

The new wheels are 18x8 in the front and 18x8.5 in the rear
Thanks for any info

Even tho my car is lowered and 4matic?

I am lowered on 19x8.5 front and back and I'm fine.

For the AWD you can put stagg fitment wheels but they have to be the same size tires all around . So you dont mess up the drive deff

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.

Atlas Grey

Not accurate. My wife has an 11 C300 4matic sedan, stock staggered fitment. I have a 2015 C350 4 Matic Coupe, stock staggered fitment.

Mine is a 2008 4 Matic with 18" staggered wheels.

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

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)

Alfadude

That's where the confusion came from. He didn't say CIRCUMFERENCE, just "same tire tire size" which you could interpret to mean as 17" tires on all for wheels or all 225 wide tires on all four wheels.
