Some off the shelf 19 inch wheels options that would fit great! Options open to just about anything with some spacer usage.
Stance SC-9 by Stance Wheels
19x8.5 et32
19x9.5 et48
(Stance has a few other styles that will work too, however I cannot recommend 19x8.5 et35 without checking brake clearance with a template (for instance Stance SC-1 by Stance Wheels)
Two wheel choice by TSW in this fitment: 1. TSW Bathurst Rotary Forged by TSW Wheels 2. TSW Geneva by TSW Wheels
19x8.5 et32
19x9.5 et39
(would recommend the car be lowered and running OEM tire sizes)
Two more from TSW in this fitment: 1. TSW Interlagos Rotary Forged Wheel by TSW Wheels 2. TSW Nurburgring by TSW Wheels
19x8.5 et32
19x9.5 et41
(better off running OEM tire sizes so the rear tucks in)
Two wheels by Vorsteiner in this fitment: 1. Vorsteiner V-FF 107 Carbon Graphite by Vorsteiner Wheels 2. Vorsteiner V-FF 103 Carbon Graphite by Vorsteiner Wheels
19x8.5 et35
19x9.5 et46
(verified that 19x8.5 et35 clear brake calipers in the V-FF 107)
5 options from Vossen in this fitment: 1. Vossen CV3-R by Vossen Wheels 2. Vossen CVT by Vossen Wheels 3. Vossen CV7 by Vossen Wheels 4. Vossen VFS-1 by Vossen Wheels 5. Vossen VFS-2 Silver Polished by Vossen Wheels
19x8.5 et30
19x10 et55
Thank you for doing this I am still trying to find wheels that work out of the box.
Hi, I bought C43 AMG 2017 and now looking for some wheels to it, but as I see it's some rocket since... So please help...
I want to use my stock tires: 225/40/19 and 255/35/19- cause are new. I don't want to use spacers to this new wheels, but would be great if rims stick out 10-20mm.
To this tires I guess the rims should be 8" and 9" width.
I can buy Borbet VTX front: 7,5 ET30, rear 8,5 ET40, so the front will be 3mm wider and rear 13mm, but I'm not sure If it fits and looks good...
Also I found this wheels: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Schmidt-R...-/323413421656 but I'm not sure it the rims will fit without spacers...
Any ideas?
Sorry for language mistakes
I was trying to search but has anyone run a square setup with 19x10 255/35 tires on a c43?
Offset would be 39 rear and 43 in the front.
I'm only asking, as I already have a set of wheels from an Audi, but think they *MIGHT* fit on a w205. If they clear, then I may have found my next car!
19x8.5 +35 with 225/40/19 Front
19x9.5 +35 with 255/35/19 Rear
Will this work? Thanks!
Hello, I am assuming you have a C43/C450AMG?
What I can say is, I just tried, much like quite a lot of members here to search for rims out of the box that would fit and clear the front brake caliper/inner knuckle/control arm, with a set of Savini rims for CARID $1800. You can search that post and see photos of the lack of inner clearance hitting the knuckle and how far the rim stuck out past the front fender. Even though "Savini engineers" guaranteed fitment. I was putting on 20x8.5 eta 32 front and rears.
One of the problems when MB incorporated the larger suspension bits from the C63 on my C450 AMG was they forgot to put the wider side fenders of the C63 lol.
From what I can gather, not saying that a 8.5 wide rim/tire couldn't fit on the front, just from my recent experience and many posts here that it is very difficult to get it right and or can lead to suspension problems.
Currently, so far to avoid the $8-9K forged rim setup; I went with another post recommendations and ordered some TSW Mallory rims from my local discount tire sized:
19x8 eta 32 front and 19x9.5 eta 52 rear (going to be hard to find many options in a 19x8 rim; tire rack has good options such as another member had mentioned with the OZ rims)
once I test fit the TSW... will work out the right tire sizes for the rear to compensate for stretch and low profile with the M. Pilot sport 4S's.
So far Discount tire guys are suggesting front: 235/40 R19 (their system couldn't choose 225/40 nor 225/35 R19 since it stated that the vehicle exceeded the weight capacity of the tire) & 265/35 R19 in the rear.
Sounds great. Looking forward to seeing your new set up Hrd_workin.
I was looking at some 19" TSW wheels as well. I like alot of the Vossen's, but many are 20", which i want to go with 19"s

I hear ya. My car is lowered on H&R springs, granted it’s not a daily driver but I to decided to go with 19”s instead of 20”s.
Just test fitted the TSW Mallory’s (19x8 eta32 & 19x9.5 eta53) at my local discount tire and they fitted up real nice. Good clearance of the control are and caliper and fit flush with the fenders. So far no spacers needed.
All the guys at the shop and myself were shocked.
So much so I didn’t think to take pics lol.
Ordered the M. Pilot 4S’s. Once I get everything in and mounted hopefully by next week I will post the final pics.

That's gonna be fairly conservative fitment with no spacers being lowered.
I have a set of aftermarket wheels (Verde) but seems like a pain in my *** lately to get perfect fitment. Fronts are vibrating a bit which I am thinking because of the 5MM spacer that needs to be hubcentric so I ordered 10MM fronts now so lets see. Rears are 19x9.5 with 255 tire on it. Seems a bit more tucked in vs the rear being out too much.

It looks like the complete opposite to me... I think your rears are more tucked in than the front. Idk if it’s just the angle of your pic, or the size trie you have on the rears.
Post your complete spec. Wheel size f and r, original offset of the wheels, size spacers used, front and rear tire sizes...
Do you plan to drop the car or keep it at stock height?
Also I feel like rear tires with 9.5 wheel is stretched cause lip of the rim sticks out. Should I go for 265 or 275 in the back. I personally don’t want to run any spacers if I don’t have to

You can do either one 265/35 or 275/35. It would still put you within 3% f/r ratio on the 4matic. However, the 265/35 will be closer to the front tire size ratio if you intend to keep it at 225/40.
Unfortunately, if you’re already stuck with the wheels you have and can’t return it, you’ll have to play with spacers to make it fit. This is exactly why I just opted to have forged wheels made and waited the 6 weeks for the set to be delivered. The $2400/set I spent was well worth it and avoided all the headaches of spacers, balancing and wheel weight. Plus, the ride even improved because of the wheels being lighter, it lessened the rebound weight on the suspension.

so I decided to have the angled valves installed and remove 5mm spacer on the front, then add a 10mm spacer in the rear. If worst comes to worst, I’ll swap rear for 265 rear. I spoke to tire manufacture and said I have 90 days to exchange so let’s see!
Cool, thanks for the help. what do you think, maybe 5mm to get it close to sitting flush?
Edit - I actually just noticed there's a custom ET option, anywhere from 30-50. It'll add two weeks to the delivery but I'd rather go that route than adding spacers.
Looking for suggestions on thickness of spacers for my stock wheels. Fronts are 225/40/19 and the rears are 255/35/19. I am not lowering the car. Just looking to bring the wheels out a bit.
