a Couple of Newb questions (2012 c300)
First post, first time Mercedes owner. Bought a 2012 C300 Sport Sedan with 99,000 km on it (Canada). I have a couple of questions I was hoping some members could answer for me; or direct me to another thread that contains the answer(s).
1) I need new front brakes; specifically pads and rotors. The auto parts store has two sizes of rotors for this vehicle - 295mm and 322mm. which size is right for my vehicle?
2) Would a set of 18" 5x112 wheels off of a 2020 GLA 250 fit my car or do you think it would be too big/not practical?
Thanks in advance!

Congrats on the 2012 C300 and welcome.
For brakes, Zimmerman rotors are recommended with the coating. The size is dependant on your vehicle spec (Sport package, AMG sport package or W/O sport package).
Run your VIN here: https://www.lastvin.com
If your in Canada, germanparts.ca is a good source and they have free shipping on right now (Nov 9 & 10). Enter your year, make and model and you'll find the front brakes section where you will see the different rotor sizes and what codes the sizes are applicable too which you can get from the link above
Best option is to always measure your existing rotors to be 100% sure.
