Hey guys, I really need your help on this one. Please tell me whether the rims w/ the following spec would fit a stock C32.

18" x 8.5" in front and 18"x9.5 in back front offset is 30 mm, back offset is 33 mm , Tires are Pirelli Pzero 255/40/ZR18 Front, and Back 285/35/18. Bolt Pattern: 5-112

Appreciate any inputs, thanks.

The offsets seem ok, but you still have to find out the back spacing clearance. As others have said, tires are way too wide, I dont think you can even install them on the car. I am using 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 with T1-S on my car right now. I dont have any problems. But that is the widest that you can go.

Dump the PZero, they're many tires better than it in the market.

Thanks a lot for the clarification guys. Actually, that rim spec came straight from a person who is selling SL55's stock rim. Once again, and for the last time, I am confirmed that my dream wheels will not work.

Hey Harris, some questions for you: with the widest possible setup of 235/40/18F and 265/35/18R if I were to get that but in 19", do you think it'll fit alright (fender rubbing)? Pzero no good? What's a good one? Yokohama?

Yokohama is not too bad but it has fat sidewalls, so you might want to think about it, it may rub.

Yup, the SL55 rims will not work on a C32 without modifications. They use 14mm bolts and we use 12mm.

If you were to get 19", the correct tire sizes are 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. Yokohama was good, but 5 years ago! I always highly recommend Toyo T1-S. They are VERY reliable, extremely good value, guaranteed no rubbing!

235/35 and 265/30 toyo's are very narrow, they are about the same width as a 225 and a 255.
