Due to a pot hole I cracked my front and rear stock rims. Since I don’t want to fix the stocks (as I heard welding doesn’t always fix the issue) looking at a new set of niches. Keeping 18s but changing the width looking at 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 in back of my 2013 c250 sedan.. what you all think? Thanks for your opinions!

I have the shop ordering didn’t saying anything regarding off set my worry is rubbing don’t want to end up rolling my fenders or needing spacers. Does it benefit me to change the width of the rim?

Thanks for the pics. Now i feel more comfortable with the set up. Just gonna check on the offset. The shop is ordering two sets for me to look at Niche M117 and M129. They gonna mock both of them on my car and let me choose.

Thanks!

One thing to consider, is that I personally did not feel any negative ride quality going from 17's to 19's. This could maybe be my tolerance - but the roads here aren't great, however these wheels hold up amazing. Also the tires are a big factor. Just also want to say, that, 19's will make more of a statement than 18's, so take a look at what some other people have so you don't have any regrets. You can only tell how it will look when the rubber is on it and its set up on the car.

Here's another close up picture, car is a little messy though haha.
