Question on wheels
Hi, I am looking for a new set of wheels for my C32 during the summer season,
there is a shop in my area offering 18" wheels with 8.5 cross section. The bolt pattarn is 5x112 and the offset is 35. I am just wondering how do I know if those wheels can clear my front caliber? can i tell by looking at the specs?
Thanks in advance

Very very hard to get wheels for the C32 unless you go the usual route... amg/brabus/carlsson/mkb/lorinser/tsw bremmers or hre's.
As stated above the problem lies with the big calipers, most aftermarket alloys just do no clear them and most advise to use spacers, but do yourself a favour and avoid that route.
