C55 wheels
Hi all, new user planning a C55 purchase shortly. Hope you don't mind me asking a quick question? I really like the OEM wheels, but want a more aggressive look. I think I'm right that the standard wheels are 7.5" and 8.5"? I was planning on putting some rears on the front, but did AMG or anybody else ever make a wider rear in the same style? Thanks!

Yeah, the lips look different. Plus I don't think the offset works with W203's.
Even with a wider rim, the widest tire you can fit is like a 265 and even then you will probably get some rubbing. You can fit a 265 on an OEM C55 wheel and use a 15mm spacer is you want it flush with the body work.
