square vs staggered setup
Hello everyone, this is my first post and just looking for some help. I have a 2017 C300 sedan RWD with OEM staggered set up: front (225/45 R18) and back (245/40 R18). I am looking into getting Niche Gamma M244 wheels with a squared set up. My question is, would I have any problems going from OEM staggered set up to this squared setup: Niche Gamma M244 wheels (19" x 8.5" with +42 offset) all around, wrapped in Michelin - Pilot Sport A/S 3+ (255/35 R19) al around. Thanks in advanced for all the help!!

should be fine. from what I learned, staggered is easier for recovering from a wheel spin issue. However, for folks driving on the track, they prefer the squared setup. So, that being said, your benz might be a little less safe when going to the squared setup.
My setup
Offset: 35/38 Brand: FSW
Hub Bore: 66.6 Rim Material: LOW PRESSURE CAST ALUMINUM
Color: GLOSS BLACK Size: 19X8.5/9.5
Quantity: 4 Bolt Pattern: 5X112
Here’s the stock tire size.
front/front&rear rear only

19x7.5 44 225/40R19 19x8.5 52 255/35R19
