I’m new to having my car lowered and having low profile tires and rims.
I am in need of winter wheels for my c350 sport
what would be a good size and does my suspension need to be altered. I’ve never had a Benz with mods until recently.

What do I need to do to put on winter wheels on her

Why would your suspension need to be altered? As with any other tires you put on your car, the winter tires you end up getting should be the same rolling diameter as stock, and you'll most likely end up with winter tires that are a bit narrower than your "summer" setup. In other words, they'll fit the car more easily than the "summer" setup you have on there now.

With that said, you have all sorts of options. You could find some stock W204 wheels and throw some winter tires on those. You could buy some cheap aftermarket wheels and put some winter tires on those. You could put winter tires on the 19" wheels you have on the car now, either in the exact same size you're already running, or something narrower (like a 225/40-19 or 235/40-19). Get the same size for all 4 corners - no need to do the staggered setup that your Sport probably came with.

19s are probably NOT a good idea for winter tires, depending on what you expect. If you live in Florida, no need for winter tires at all. If you live in Albany, then go with 17" or 18". TireRack has a good configurator and actually have winter wheel/tire combinations. Don't forget to add in the tire pressure sensors.
