Looking for some new wheels - C63
Hi guys,
I’m looking for a new set of alloys for my c63 and after your guys opinion on fitment.
The only wheels i’m considering are Bola b1’s in bronze - link below
https://m.rimstyle.com/alloywheels/wheel/bola_b1_brm
Now the issue - they only make the 19” in a 8.5J all round with a 45et. Current set up on my car is 8J front and 9J rear with a 255 tyre.
The question I have is will I be able to get away with the 8.5J rear and if so will it affect anything?

get real volks if you like that look - not knock-offs..... I actually have the Te37 PCD's on my landcruiser - damn nice rims for a 20" setup and only 23lbs !
that said - lot's of better options.... at least IMHO

Well you have a Mercedes, not a Nissan, VW, or Ford Focus. The Bola B1's do not suit/match the car. Quantum44 s1 would look a whole lot better. As far as fitment, most sites have some guide of what fits our cars.

I never thought I’d defend this, but Volks don’t look that bad actually. https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...e-attacks.html
Now it’s a whole other argument about knockoffs vs real thing etc. But you’re getting the wrong size for the rear at least. 8.5” is really going to limit the rear tire width which is where you need it most. But if you’re only concerned with looks, and like it then whatever I guess. I don’t know anything about offsets you’ll have to measure, plus make sure they’ll clear the calipers. Maybe you can use the info from the above Volk post as reference.

Yes it will fit. Guys run et45 on 9.5 rims on the rear. this is an 8.5, as long as it's correct bolt pattern you shouldn't have an issue. I wouldn't run an 8.5 in the rear though. Those rims don't look like they should be on a Benz just my opinion.

The Bola site includes a fitment check - probably a good place for you to have started. It very clearly says yes to 18" and NO to 19"
