I need some expert advice. Have never owned a mercedes before. So rim and tire selection is a little more difficult than on a chevy truck lol. Here it is. The 1996 c280 i just purchased is in need of new rubber baaadddllyy!!! It is currently wearing p195/65r/15's. Looking for a change! What size rims can i change to? Was thinking of some 16/17's. I know it is 5 lug, but have no clue as to bolt pattern spacing. Is there a specific offset that has to be used? This is a stock car. Has not been lowered. Would like to find some 5 star rims that show off the four wheel disk brakes. Will upgrade them to slotted and drilled later.

Thanks all

I strongly urge you to look at Tirerack and Discount Tire Direct for their wheel fitment guide. They will show you what wheels and tire sizes will fit your model.

I have a bigger problem now! Gotta get the motor right first!! Been working backwards here! ! All cars /blow steam to start. Once this hits 80°a it stops even with the coolant thermostat removed. Haven't got a manual yet in the process.
Thanks so much!! D
