Saw some nice blk 5 spoke amg reps on ebay. Size as follows : 18 x 8.5 fr 18 x 9.5 rear, 5 x 112, 38mm offset....will these fit the c43? Im almost sure our offset is 30/32? is that correct?

you may end up with a couple mm spacers to get perfect but should work i know i was gonna put 36mm on my and they would have worked

buy my AUTHENTIC carlssons, just click on my username and chec my threads

If you want 18's for your car that should not rub, these should be the factory specs for the C-Class (Wheel offset and tire sizes):

225/40 ZR 18 (7.5Jx18 ET37) Front
255/35 ZR 18 (8.5Jx18 ET30) Rear

The offset of 38 in combination with 9.5'' is rather bad...
depending on the tire it might rub on the inside of the wheel housing obove the wheel and even on the underbody at rebound.
Using 5mm spacers would make it fit, but you will have bad vibrations.

not to sound like a jerk, but why would you buy fake amg's? That no different then buying a fake rolex. Buy the real thing. i know all amg e class fit. if you dont want to spend alot of money go on craigslist.org and buy used.

Because some of the reps are lighter in weight and better sizes.

thanks austin...exactly

didn't know agreeing with yor explanation was weird????

Haha it says WERD! As in- I totally agree.

Uggh...Too many hours in front of the computer

I hear ya man!

just be careful. theres a thread somewere on here with fotos of a members rep wheel that split down the center!! the tire stayed on the bead which was the only thing holding the wheel together. a lot of rep wheels made very poorly.

this will help you with any tire fitment issues. input the oem specs on 1 side and the wheel and tire specs on the other and compare

well that might be ture, but If weight is a problem then buy a real race wheel like dymag, adv.1 etc. Thats just my 2 cent on the issue. I just don't like fakes. I guess everyone is different.

In my part of the world, replica wheels if not homologated correctly are a no-no to be used on the road. So, cheap wheels are not around.
