Issues with finding wheels for 2006 C350 SS
Pretty much every wheel I find won't fit the new 2006 C350 SS due to the brakes.
I had a line on a set of FM monoblock 6's but they said they won't work up front without a 20MM spacer, which puts the 8.5" wheel out past the fender.
I searched the forum and didn't see anything clear on the subject (maybe I didn't search on the right terms), also called Tire Rack but I don't think the guy I spoke with knew very much, so here you go:
What wheels (18", 9.5 rear with 255/35 tire, 8 or 8.5 front with 225/40 tire) will fit on a 2006 C350 SS without spacers OR with minimal spacers (less than 10 mm or so) and still fit under the fender? I'd consider 19" as well but 18" is my first choice.
Thanks for the info.

depends on the weather
we have not had an opportunity to measure a C350 SS yet, so, I can not guarantee wheel fitment for your car. As soon as we get one here we will list the wheels we carry that fit your car properly

There are a plethora of wheel options that can accomodate the large calipers of your vehicle. For your price point consider the WORK Euroline series, and the Termist Series as well.

Thanks for the info guys, I solved the issue with some local folks here in San Jose, www.BigWheels.net and a set of TSW Volcano wheels.
The 19" wheels went on today, everything fit great, 8.5" front and 9.5" rears with 235 tires front and 265's out back. No rubbing, no spacers.
So I know for sure the TSW Volcano's work.
