My 2008 C350 on SOME ESM BBS-LM REPS!!!
Hi everyone,
Just got these BBS-LM reps from ESM WHEELS. They fit the car perfect, I still need to lower my car a bit but that will be done in the near future.
From what ESM has told me; is that I'll be the first one to post pics of these wheels installed on a 2008 Mercedes C350 (correct me if I'm wrong.)
Anyways I've had them on for about 1 week and love them.
The offset is some what aggressive the edge of the wheels stick out pass the rear quarter-panels maybe 1-2mm or so. The front wheel's lip is right flush with the fenders. I get a little rubbing in the rear and front only on big dips (doesn't bother me one bit). However, when I lower the car it should camber in slightly, which will hopefully eliminate the rubbing.
Here are the wheel specs
Front: 19x8.5
offset: 32
center bore 66.6 Lug Pattern: 5x112
Rear: 19x9.5
offset: 40
center bore 66.6 Lug Patter: 5x112
Tires Size
Front: 245/35 r19 (could have went smaller with 235s)
Rear: 265/30 r19

looks good bro, like the wheels. I will tell u that u are gonna rub worst w the drop, Ive done both w204s I have and i ran thes same specs w a 35mm up front and couldnt clear. The back needs a 255 to work and the front a 205 or 215, run narrow brand tires. Ur best bet is to machine the fronts down a few mm.

Lowered
What "JimmytheGreek" said
Remember the smaller width you go with will expose your wheel lip much more. So curb rash and the chances of your wheels getting damage increases.
