Wheel recommendations for C300 4matic
Hello folks,
I am looking to change out my stock wheels to something much nicer - as of now the stocks are 18" wheels but I was thinking of venturing into 19" or even 20" wheels.
Any recommendations? Also what is the width that you would recommend for a staggered set up? I am thinking 8.5" for fronts and 9.5" for rears. I think at that it won't bulge out the wheels beyond the fender liner on the outside.
Also for the tires, I am thinking 235/45 for the fronts and 285/45 for the rears - what do you think?
Please please help me out here and if you have some pictures of your wheel set up then please do share. TIA.

Also, I may look into staying with the 18" size as well so any recommendations for that also would be much much appreciated!

I like Brabus personally.
19" is good to go, 20" might be a little too harsh for ride quality.
I run 225/40/19 front with 8.5J and 255/35/19 rear with 9.5J
285 is too wide for C

Having wider wheels than 9.5" is not a problem, as long as you get the right offset. 8.5" is the max I would personally do though in the front. If I was getting a 8.5" wheel in the front and 9.5" or 10" in the rear in 19s, I would do 245 35 19s in the front and 275 30 19s in the rear, or even 245 40 19s in the front and 275 35 19s in the rear. I'm personally gona go with 20s so I'm planning on doing 20x8.5 in the front in et40 range with 245 35 20s and 20x10 in the rear in et50 range with 275 30 20s.
