Negative! 20's are close to impossible to fit on a C. Maybe if you find a 20x 8" rim for all fours, then the tires, then I wonder how the car will drive. It will feel like its on stilts probably. Go with 19's max. They look big on C's anyways.

20's will not fit on a new C. Even if they would, your car would run slower because of 240's smaller engine. 19's are even pushing it for your car. If you want big rims like that, you should have bought the 320 or use your rim money to tune your engine before you get rims. That way you get a faster car that looks tight and runs good.

Thumbs up

What about the PCD and offset for putting 19s on a mercedes c240 2002? Also what are the disadvantages for putting low profile wheels on your car? Im new at this kind of stuff so any help is appreciated.
Thanks

depends on the weather
but the tires in the correct diameter do not have the proper load capacity

20 inch will fit. but recommanded to used coilover for better handling and suspension clearance. for tires size off course stretch the tires if you want to slammed the car. please call me if you need more assistance, I will be more than happy to help. since we did couple already.

Only MBs - the best or nothing
20" will "fit" C class just as well as 21" will "fit" E class. Have you seen many Es with 21" on the street? Yes, correct - none. The only E with 21" wheels I saw was a picture on one of these boards from one of the "tuner" companies. When I posed the question if that car is drivable, I got exactly what I expected - no answer, 'cause its not.

I second what Luke and some others said above. Do not even think about 20s on a C, especially 240 - you'll probably will walk faster that it will drive with them on. If you realy want to have 20" wheels - change C to at least a W211 or W212(but not coupe) E sedan.

And the tire sizes, please? I assume those things between the wheels and the ground are tires, right?
