Good evening,

I currently own a W204 C250 as a placeholder for a C63 in the future. Most of the aesthetics will transfer over fine at the time of purchase, but am wondering about wheels.

Are the flush offsets between the 2 cars very different? I know the front fenders are wider, but if I find a little less than flush offset/perfectly flush offset for the 250 and then put them on the C63, would that be okay? I'm bad at wheel offsets and want to make sure that what wheels I buy for the 250 will be okay for a 63.

Thanks for your help guys.

Note - when I say "okay" I mean that the wheels won't poke from the fender... I wouldn't mind putting a spacer on if they weren't flush, but not sure what is different from the hub to fender distance.

Sorry, I posted here because I thought maybe a C63 owner could tell me their flush offset so I could make sure the same set of wheels would transfer over from the 250. I'll ask there as well then.

Short answer. Offsets are different. Won't work.

BLKROKT's answer is correct - both the offsets and rim widths are different. While you *may* be able to spec out a set of wheels that will fit the C250 with narrower tires and subsequently use them on the C63 with spacers IF they clear the (much) larger front brakes on the C63, you'll need said spacers, longer bolts and different tires. So - the long answer is that while what you're asking *may* be techically possible, it is far from ideal or for that matter cost-effective.

If you are 100% going to get a c63 in the near future then don't even waste your time on wheels for the c250. Just get a c63 and then get wheels for it...
