Selling this set-up. Located in Tampa if you're local. Tires are shot - some curb rash. I will post an ad soon. $750 + shipping will take them. I will include spacers/bolts to get the right fitment.

Had a wheel crack on my C43 Sedan.

I just purchased:

19x8.5 et35 - Aodhan AFF7
19x9.5 et35 - Aodhan AFF7
F 225/4/19 - Michelin PS4S
R 255/35/19 - Michelin PS4S
H&R Sports Springs now too.

Will this set up fit? Do I need to buy spacers?

Any help will be appriciated.

Cracked stock wheel?

AP_Dynamics

Yes. Just bought the car 2 months ago and woke up one morning and the LF was on the ground. Filled it and it leaked in a day.

Anybody went with a square set up on 18inch wheels with stock suspension ? Let me know.

(Tried to navigate the thread but too many posts)

I'm in a similar situation as yours. Also have a 2020 C43 wagon, stock ride height, looking for 18's, but I'm not looking for a square setup! Thinking about the same wheels too: Enkei RS05RR's.

Can anyone confirm this will NOT fit? I’m skeptical but wheel seller says, of course they will. Trying to fit a set of vintage Benz wheels. I’m lowered on H&R.

Fr 18x8, et35 (I know this will fit.)
Rr 18x9, et30 - could it fit at all and if so, what sort of spacer would I need?

Trying to figure out if I can put my old Audi's 245/40/18 winter set on my C43. Will 18" 8x31 or 8.5x29 rims have a clearance issue with caliper/suspension components?

I've been digging in the posts for this setup with no luck, which makes me hesitant.

I don’t think it will work based on everything in this thread. The rear ET just won’t work. The front should(?)

The way the fender is designed, the wheel looks too flush from certain angles but perfect from others, lowering helps eliminate this effect.

I’m planning to order wheels from a company that does the wheels made to order, I have a 2017 pre-facelift c43 saloon on factory 19s.

Notes I took awhile ago landed me here: 20x8.5 +30 front and 20x10 +45 rear.

Would like an aggressive look, currently have factory suspension. Do those numbers look right to inform wheel manufacturer?

MaverickC43

If they’re doing made to order; u should just give them this info and they will give u what works

I didn’t have to know any spacers or offset sizes
when I got mine
came ready to install

aaronBLUEeyes

My stock wheels have had to have multiple welding/straightening jobs and re-balancing done because the factory wheels are cast and crack easily, which pissed me off.

I live in New England, there’s ****ty roads and potholes everywhere.

MaverickC43

Stock wheels are brittle.
what tires u running?

aaronBLUEeyes

The model that came from Mercedes, I bought a certified pre-owned vehicle. Continental Pro Contact run-flats I believe.

MaverickC43

That’s what my ‘19 came with
they don’t help the problem either

aaronBLUEeyes

I’m torn wether to go big with 20s or stick with 19s for my aftermarket wheels. I want it to look awesome, but also ride well.

MaverickC43

Try to message guys on here with 20s and see if they live in an enviroment like yours

I wanted to lower mine but didn’t want it to be a snowplow in winter
I will look into adjustable setups and see which ones would be best in my area

Stock ‘19 with 19in stance wheels

Stock ‘20 with same 19 in wheels

Just got a 16 c450 amg with the multi spoke 19s. Thinking about possibly doing spacers, like 5/fr and 15/r after some research. I know these hubs are weird so some sizes don't fit right. Has anyone done this size spacer setup on the stock 19s?

aaronBLUEeyes

Congrats on your c450 purchase!

aaronBLUEeyes

What tires are y’all running that provide comfort and performance?

Thinking of pulling away from run-flats for my summers.

Hello all,

I really need help. I went with same setup but fitment industries recommended I do front 235/40 and rear 265/35. I'm rubbing like crazy especially in comfort mode. Currently, I got Aodhan AFF7's.
Front: 19x8.5(ET35)
Rear: 19x9.5(ET35)​​​
I really want to keep these wider Michelin tires as it feels very nice on the road. Any advice would be appreciated besides rolling the fenders in the rear. I was thinking to get a new set of rims with ET42 in rear, everything else stays the same. Sadly, I'd have to get all 4 as Aodhan AFF7's only come in ET35. Please advise
Any rim recommendations that look nice, lightweight, and rotary forged but not too expensive also appreciated. Preferably silver.
