Wheel fitment Help/Advice
Hey Guys,
I purchased some wheels for my C450 looks like we're hitting the control arm, I'm being told a 5mm spacer should work. Anybody running this setup and having issues with rubbing etc? Also I think my front might poke out just a tad too much with the spacer. Looking for some advise. Thanks in advance

19x8.5 et 34 apparently does not work (take with grain of salt).
So it will be close. I have not seen any information concluding that it does work. It will be close.
If someone with 19x8.5 et 30-32 can post some inner clearance pictures, that would be your best bet.

Here is a thread that I started with my wheel success story and a few other guys. There is another thread I started also when the C450 first came out and everyone was having trouble with the control arm.

Bummer that this still is haunting C43 buyers...too bad the factory has not changed that larger control arm to the same one they used for the 300/400 W205 cars. Or it would be cool to get the C63 front fenders on a facelift model. Either option would certainly clear up the hassle of fitting wheels and tires.
