Niche Misano rims and Tire Stretch - 2018 C43 Sedan
Hello everyone,
I recently bought a C43 and just had some summer rims installed a few days ago. I knew the fitment for the front can be difficult but I wanted to ask you guys whether this amount of stretch is normal? or if this stretch is in fact quite minimal.
The shop said a 13mm spacer was needed in order to fit these rims to the front and they had to leave the cap off the TPMS sensors as well, because with the cap on, it wouldn't clear inside.
Details:
2018 C43 Sedan with the 19" option
Front Rims: Niche Misano 19" x 8.5”
Front rubber: 225/40R19
Rear Rims: Niche Misano 19" x 9.5"
Rear rubber: 255/35R19
Is this all seem normal or did something go wrong?
I wanted to get some thoughts outside of the shop. Unbiased
Thanks everyone.

tires can only fit one way. Not sure what your question is. A 225 will fit on a 8.5 the same way every single time (some tires have a more square shoulder or are marginally wider tread width).
This is more than acceptable tolerance for a car. you'd have to put that 225 on the 9.5 to see real stretch. It will not impact your driving in any way other than being more prone to curb rash.
