Wheel Offset Question

[Wtm11]

Hi everyone, I need help. I just bought my wife a 1999 C280 and I really want to put some wheels on it and probably lower it a little bit :) I got some 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 et37 front/rears wheels. Will they fit? what size tires?

Thanks guys!

19s are a bit big for our 202s, especially if you wanna lower it and you said its your wifes. The bigger the wheels, the smaller tire profiles which means less comfort. In my opinion 17s or 18s are better suited for a daily. If you're gonna stock to ur 19s, I'd say 225/40 for the fronts and 255/35 rears. Depending on how much you lower it, you might have to go 35 front 30 rear on the tire profile

i agree with the 19s a lil way too big for our cars... but i have seen it happen!! et37 is just perfect... on the tires, depending on how low you want, u might need to do a mild stretch on it... but for sure you need to roll fenders to make it work...
