Hi all, I've currently got some aftermarket 18" C63 AMG 'style' wheels on my '97 C200..

One of the wheels has recently buckled and I'm looking at replacing the whole set for a new look.

Any knowledge on whether something like this will fit on the car or not? (They are also 18")

Thanks!

5x112

5x112 is the bolt pattern.. They should fit though I know one of the members here used to run then on his 202.. You might need some fender work and/or spacers.

right, my apologies, not very experienced when it comes to wheels obviously. not sure of the offset.. maybe i will try and get them fitted before i actually purchase them. i tried getting a replacement of the wheels I'm running at the moment, but apparently they are no longer in production. will post a photo later on. thanks for the help!

the offset is et**... make sure also it has a center bore of 66.56 or it wont clear the hub... it could go bigger but not too big...

Would a set with front: 18x8, 235/40/18 and rear: 18x9, 255/35/18 fit?

The buckled rim is in serious need of replacement now haha

It just depends on if you're lowered and what kind of spring pads you have. Anyone with 18" monoblocks can probably chime in here.

I'm lowered on Eibach Sport Springs,
-Front: 18x8.5 225/40 ET29 on #2 pads
-Rear: 18x9.5 255/35 ET31 on #1 pads

In other words, my tired are a bit more stretched out in the rear and a decent bit in the front so you could probably get away with the same setup without higher pad numbers. If you're not even lowered I THINK you may be okay with those tire sizes (anyone confirm?).

im on 225/40/18 et 35 spaced out 15mm bringing the final offset to et20 no pads.

Depends on your tire make/model too. 235 in one make can have a huge difference between brands. Tried 235/40/18 Pirelli p-Zero Nero on my 18x8.5 monoblocks et47 spaced 12mm to bring it to et35 I rubbed when turning while reversing and when driving over dips and bumps.

These rims will fit, but they will poke out a little.

Does that mean the front wheels will rub?
