Brabus wheel question

I just picked up a set of 18" Brabus wheels for my 01 C320. The front size is 18x18.5 and rear is 18x9.5. Does anyone know what the correct tire size should be? Also, what are lug nut specification for Brabus wheels? I read somewhere it should be M14 x 1.5. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance.

you can run either 225/40 and 255/35 or 235/35 and 265/30...many with a 203 choose the second option.

With offsets of 35 front & back, will 265/35/18 rub in the rear? I am not planning to lower the car. Also, what are the lug nut specifications for Brabus wheels (i.e. Shaft length, thread pitch, drive type, seat type)? Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know all the lug bolt specs you will need, but your car uses 12x1.5. You will have to look inside the Brabus rims to determine if cone or round seat. let us know what seat type:
