Another noob with wheel question.. HELP!
Okay first of all, Please don't get upset, because you guys probably see this question very often. I'm not lazy to search this forum but I really can't find the answer to my question.

I have a 2002 MBz C240 Brilliant silver, all stock. I was wondering if I need a wheel SPACER on front or rear. I'm getting a set of Stern ST-II, 19 8.5 front and 19 9.5 rear wrapped with Dunlop SP9000 235/35f , 265/30r. with Tein S-tech springs. About the Stern rims, the offset is 35 on front and rear. The guy whose trying to sell the rims does not know what size of spacers I need to clear the front brake calipers. My brake calipers aren't that big than C32s or AMG brake calipers. So my question is what size of spacer do I need to clear the front brake calipers; And also, do I need spacers for the rear?

Thank you for your patience.

while the specs you have listed will work on the car you left out the important thing .... wheel offset ... look for a 35mm offset front and rear

I don't think I need spacers... Luke said I should be fine with 35 mm offset front and rear.. Is that right Luke?
