c320 and 18x8 and 18x9 offset problem
Hi guys, what would be the optimal offset for front 18x8 and rear 18x9 for a c320? Btw, I also might get the front C32 brake upgrade later so should I get my rims with the offset of c32 in front? If I also get the cupkit, then will the chance of rubbing be greater? i.e. like extreme left or right turning and going over curbs.
sorry if this post doesn't make much sense.

However, if you're going to put C32 brakes on, you will probably need wheels with an offset of ET30 or less (but really depends on the back spacing of your wheel though). Be careful!

depends on the weather
offset has very little to do with brake clearance it is more of a wheel design issue .... the C32 wheels, which have an offset of 37mm, have a tremendous amount of brake clearance
30-35 would be correct for the c-class

If I get Brabus Vi, then there shouldn't have any problem right?
By the way Harris, I probably would need a pricing for Brabus Monoblock VI 1pc, 8.5 x 18 and 9.5x18. Thanks
