C450/C43 Wheel Fitment Guide
#352
Alright so I've read most all of this thread but don't see 20" talked about a lot... If I want zero rub issues, should I not go with 20".
I am a total car/wheel newb so I don't know a lot about wheel measurements, etc.
I just purchased a C450 AMG yesterday and would just like to get her a new pair of shoes this week and was initally planning on going with the 20" OEM AMG black but now after reading this it may be out of the question?
Should I stick with the 18" stock I have on her now, go with 19" AMG or 20" AMG?
Thanks in advance!

Going with the 19" Y Spoke AMG wheels like Alexasa has.
Thanks!

Hi guys,
Currently have a '17 C43 Sedan and, like many others on this forum, have had enough of the stock wheel / run flat setup. I ordered a set of Motegi Racing MR127 which are supposed to arrive tomorrow, but I'm getting anxiety reading the fitment issues.
I'm hoping to run a square setup with these MR127s, 18x8 with +38mm offset, wrapped in Continental DWS06 225/50.
The website I ordered from, along with the technicians confirmed via their chat that I shouldn't have any issues. Is this the case? I'm hoping so, I'd appreciate any thoughts!

18x8et30 on 225/45/18 should be what you're looking for or even 235/45/18 to bump the tire size up a hair

As mentioned above, the tire is the wrong size diameter wise. As for the wheel offset, you’d need like a 6mm to 8mm spacer but I think that size doesn’t exist.

Can't be much worse than the current wheels...I've had at least 10 cracks and two front tire replacements. Although, if these end up not fitting then I might consider something better.

I know its not quite the stock setup but according to this there is a loss of 9.8mm in the arches. I measured my current stock setup and I have much more room than that. Unless I'm missing something / the guys at Extreme Customs have absolutely no idea what they're doing, please inform me, I'm a novice at this stuff. For the offset, the stock 19 wheel is 7.5 with a +33 offset, so by using a 8 inch +38 tire, aren't I mostly compensating for the extra 0.5 inches with the extra 5mm offset?

it won't look good or perform well if it even clears the front control arm.

No one is calling either you or Extreme Customs idiots...yet. You're in alexasa's domain and pissing in his cheerios though. He's twice advised against your proposed setup and stated why. Better head back to the drawing board...

you have over 10mm less inner clearance. the taller tire diameter is barely within spec and will increase body roll and decrease steering feel. the section width reduction will not be enough to properly put the power down.
it won't look good or perform well if it even clears the front control arm.
