Hello everyone, I just transitioned to a 2017 c43 from a 2010 c300 Sport.

I purchased a custom finished set of Vossen CVT wheels for my w204, but now I own c43 can I get them to fit the c43?

Here’s wheel specs: 19x8.5 +45 Front | 19x10 +55 Back

You’ll need a 15mm spacer in the front and they should fit just fine.

Hmmm, really!? Never was a fan of spacers — but also have seen that if installed correctly they’re safe.

Offset and width on back wheel is good then, the fronts just need the spacer to prevent rubbing inside wheel wells then.

Do you think the spacers will impact turning radius?

Adding 15mm spacers to your rims is no different then installing properly sized 8.5” rims with a +30 offset.

As for the rear, +55 on a 10” rim should be fine, but I’ll let someone else confirm 100%. Most 10” rear setups I’ve seen have been +50. +55 will just move the rim in closer to the inner suspension.

FWIW, I’ve ordered a set of 20” Vossens with 8.5” +30 front and 10” +50 rear.

I'm running 12mm spacers in the front and 25mm spacers in the rear on my stock 18's until I settle on what I want to do for an upgrade. If anything, the car feels more planted with the wider stance. Turning radius appears to be unaffected.

I'd recommend going with Otis Inc. LA as they package high quality hubcentric spacers with the appropriate length extended bolts in a single package. Fast shipping and great customer service.

Do you have a link? My plan was to have wheels mounted and balanced at TownFair Tire, not sure if they will work with spacers tho.

The website isn't working for me right now so I wonder if they're doing maintenance. You can always google their phone number and call them directly. Very nice guys.

TownFair Tire won't install anything you didn't buy from them. I doubt they'll even mount your tires for you. Find a good local performance shop who knows what they're doing and actually gives a **** about the work they're doing.
