C450/C43 Wheel Fitment Guide

If I replace the springs with height adjustable ones, I can lift it maybe 1/4” and those dips would be no problem. It’ll also solve the rake issue.

No spacers, and yes clearance is VERY tight... on everything! My post is somewhere in this thread. I’m on fixed H&R springs, and do rub (plastic liners) if I hit the gas on huge dips. Other than that, it’s pretty good for a daily. No rubbing on full lock-to-lock turns, nothing on taking fast corners, and very planted.

No problem, just wanted to clarify.
C450/C43 4Matic has very little space in front so 8.5” has been the accepted maximum width. There are some people who claim they can fit 9” in front, but we’ve yet to see actual pics from owners.

That car does not share the same arms. C300 guys and even c400 people can fit much more - but I don't know if that would rub inner arms on c450, c43
But that still doesn't change the outter clearance, a nice reference point - a few more mm's more aggressive then I would go but lowering and camber would sit those in fine with the tire size. 235 might be more suitable.
BC forged wheels are probably the best bang for buck on fully forged wheels. Nice choice.

Wheel questions before instal
Just got some aftermarket niche rims the size is 19x8.5 ET 34 square set up. Will that work on my c450. Lowered on H&R springs. Currently I have spacers on the stock 18s. With 15/17.5 spacers on the front and rear. What should I do about the 19x8.5 square set up. And do I need spacers. And what would you recommend for the tire sizes

I think the front's are well established now with the 8.5in wide with ET around 30 or 32.
The rear's I still have questions:
Looking at AG M652 concave wheels,
20x8.5 et30 + 235/35/20 Front
20x10 et48 + 275/20/20 Rear
I'll be lowered on Adjustable H&R springs to dial in the height. You think with the added negative camber after lowering, that the rear's would fit? AG custom offset program can only go 48et for the 20x10. Thoughts?

I haven't seen a set up near what I'm trying to accomplish. Maybe the people going 9.5 et45. The 20x10 people are going et50+, thats why it was concerning.
The red c43 guy that posts alot with this 20x10 setup is like et55 or something.
I'll post results from the 15mm F / 20mm R spacer setup with the H&R adjustable springs with OEM 19in multispoke wheels.
