99' C43
Anyone tried fitting 16" on C43 (W202)?
I bought a used set of 16" 97' E320 (W210 I believe) alloy with snow tires mounted, but when I fit it to the front it won't clear the C43 caliper and I even tried fitting with 8mm spacer no luck. Has anyone attempted this with 16" and what is the correct offset for this if it is feasible? The caliper was too big that was touching the outter inner edge of the rim.
Since the winter tires are in very good condition, I'm thinking of getting some 16" steelies to mount the 215/55/16 snow tires on. Anyone who could shed some lights regarding the correct 16" offset will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
