Noobie Wheels and Tires Questions

[benzinoc230]

Hello to all-
Before I start I would like to advise that I have searched and researched the forums for the answers to these questions and after a few posts they all just kind of fade away.. I have an eyeache from all the different knowledge so...

1. I would like to run 18's on my 98 c230. All stock to my understanding.

2. What does staggered mean?

3. What is the offset for 18's?

4. Will I have to run spacers if I run 18's?

I have no plans on lowering as of now, not changing rotors or brake pads or lowering in the near future, I just want to change the appearance of the car for a little while and these little 15's have seen much better days!

Also if anyone has any ideas on brands etc let me know..

Thanks in advance---

:D

Staggerd is Wider wheels in the rear than the front for better line traction.

Example: 18x8 wheels front and 18x9 wheels rear would be a staggard setup. 18x8.5 Front and Rear is not a staggered setup

Offset: there is many diffrent offsets but the prime offset is ET 35.

as far as spacers go you probably wont need them but it all depends on the offset of the wheels you want

brands: AMG.
