Exclamation HELP!! non staggered wheel fitment on C32 - Need answer quick

Hey everyone,

Anyone know if a non staggered setup: 18" x 9.5" AMG rims with Bridgestone Turanza 255/40R18 95Y tires all around will work on a C32?

If yes, great!! If not, is there a way that I can get them to fit? How much would it cost?

I hope to get an answer soon, the seller is waiting on me to respond on a set that im looking to buy from him...thanks guys

You won't be able to get 255's to fit on the front without tons of rubbing. I think 245 is Max with the correct offset.

I think the front will rub for sure. The tires are just too big, especially given that our offset is around 32-37.

Hey guys thanks for your feedback! I have one question left that i really need answered before 5 pm EST today before I meet the seller.

The rims are a non staggered setup of 18" x 9.5" AMG rims all around. I know several of you mentioned that the tires will be too big in the front (Bridgestone Turanza 255/40R18 95Y tires all around).

Does that mean that the rims are ok all around, but all I will need is to get smaller tires in the front? If so, what tires should I look for?

If not, do i need diff tires and rims in the front?

Thanks guys!

It really depends on the offset of the wheels. Right now, i think 9.5 width for the front is way too wide. My 19 is 8.5 for the front with 37 offset and i am milimeters away from brake calipers and the struts. It also sticks out a little but from the front fenders. If you can do a test fit prior to buying, that would be great.

white and whiter
will not fit.

1. wrong size tire up front
2. wrong size tire in the rear. right width, wrong profile.
3. 44 offset doesn't even fit the rear without 10mm spacer
4. 44 offset definitely does not fit the front with 9.5 width.
5. If you want to run non-staggered. max you can run is 9" width with some 30-35 offset with 245/35 if 18 or 245/30 if 19.
