Offset Gurus and Vendors Welcome
Hello,
I am looking to buy a set of wheels and tires for the summer. I am planning to go with 19" wheels either Rennen RS-51 graphite or Rohana RC10 in Silver with Chrome lip.
I would like a taller tire to protect against poleholes and fill my wheel gaps without lowering vehicle.
Below is what I am planning assuming I will not rub in the rear.
My car is 2010 C63 Sedan with stock height non Performance Package.
Front 245/40/19 Michelin PSS mounted to 19x8.5
Rears 275/35/19 Michelin PSS mounted to 19x9.5
I know Rohana offsets are fronts are 42mm and rears are 47 mm. My concern is the height of rear wheels with a 47 mm offset rubbing.
Thanks!

I looked at the RC10 in 19 but noted that there appeared to be a clearance issue.
I contacted Rohana who replied:
"Thank you for your interest in Rohana Wheels. You are correct. The 19" RC10 will fit the standard model C Class, however the C63 AMG brake setup diameter will be too large for the inner barrel of the 19", which is why the 20" is recommended for that vehicle."
If you want RC10 you will need to go 20".

Thanks for the heads up. I can't do 20". GRP how long have you had your forgestar wheels and do you like them? I was interested in the F14s but read some problems with cracked wheels.
