Wheel Fitment, hitting control arm c450
Hry guys,
Im having issues with fitting my wheels on my c450. The rears fit and poke out just a inch, but my front hits the control arm, The wheel shop I purchased these from are trying to make it right by shipping me a spacer. But I think the front will poke out little too much. Anybody know the correct size offset for 19s? Or know what I should order.
Here is my size:
19x9.5 et 45 rear
19x8.5 et 38 front

the rear is on the edge of what has been deemed as flush. would love to see pictures of your car as it sits.
the front will need to be at minimum et 32mm. meaning you need at least a 6mm spacer on the front. the problem is the hub isnt long enough for anything larger. and if you go to 15mm its too far out. ask for a 6mm-7mm spacer for the front and it should work. 5mm may work with a skinny tire like a 225

Thanks for the reply. If I put on the 5mm spacer upfront wont the wheel stick out passed the fenders? Because with us just putting these wheels on the car it already sticks out without any spacers.

I wonder if it looks like it's beyond flush because the wheels are not on the ground (i.e. once you have weighted the wheels they will exhibit some camber...and tuck in. still looks close, but that might be the problem.
I'm in the same situation trying to determine wheel sizes to get things flush...so interested in your final outcome.

get a ~5'er for the front and you should be good. proper tire will be the difference of poking or not.
you can not got wider than 235 and that might be hairy because most are running 30-32 with 235's.
