Anyone make the C55 wheels in widths wider than stock widths?
Stock is 18x7.5 and 18x8.5 I believe. Wondering if they are made in slightly wider widths to accomodate wider tires. I really like the looks of the C55 wheels. Thanks.

Thanks. Do you know if they are offered without the rivets like how the stock ones are? Looks cleaner without them.

a quarter mile at a time
you can go up to a 255 on a 8.5" rim. Is it really worth it to get a wider rim just to go to 265's?

as far as I know there are no replicas of the C55 (AMG type-IV) that are wider.

how wide of a tire you are looking for tho?

I'd like to run 265's out back on 18" wheels. Keep in mind I am purely researching my options right now as I don't actually own a W203 model Benz yet (getting ready to sell my 01 Z06 first). I might just considering getting the stock sized C55 wheels then and use 255's out back instead. One last question.....who sell the C55 wheels, and are they also offered in an exact replica vs OEM to keep the cost down?

Thanks for the help, guys.

if that's the case you can get the double spoke shown in rlee's post, but make sure they are the 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 from the R230 SL-class. Those will have the perfect offset for the W203/202. one of my friend is currently running those on his WALD w202.

i see a few different ones....

18x8.5 ET25 18x9.5 ET28

18x8 ET30 18x9 ET39

I think the second set should fit, and they are off a E55.
