Hey wichipong, I want to run 17x9 next year In the rear, did you have any issues with 9 wide in the rear?

I've got 18x9.5 in the rear. Under really hard driving they rub, this is in a c36 which has its guards rolled from factory I'm lead to believe. There is still a bit left to be rolled so i may do that

no issues at all... i was even spaced out to bring the offset down.

You need to bend up the lip between the inner quarter panel and the bumper, also shave a lot of the tabs there. I run 18x9.5 +15 on the rear.

18*9.5 here n u need to role the fender lips and pull out slightly (you can pull it by hand )
mines lowered 2 inches or so also

dear love mine don't hit too hard
all I did was pull the fender out by hand where the front cover and fender meet and did the same on the side by the door (same location height wise )
took the rub out unless I have 4 ppl and a hard left turn .... lol

I'm tucking 18x9.5s on the front, it took some work and lots of trimming.

you can fit 20s , if you really want..

the biggest ive seen without major mods is 19 inches. but the tires were rubber bands. probably not the best ride. i wouldnt do that if i were you.

i drive a 1999 c280 elegance. but i lowered on vogtland springs and bille sports with #3 and #4 pads in front and back respectivly. i could stand to put #1 or #2 pads in front. also I have adjustable camber arms in rear from the diy. They are perfect for centering wheel.

I HAVE 0, NO RUBBING, at all in any driving condiiton or surface and can turn the wheels in front knock to knock no issues.

I personally have 18x8.5j 43et on front with a 5mm spacer and 225/40/18 michellin pilot sport a/s 3.

on rear i have 18x9.5j 43et bolted right on. 255/35/18 michellin pilot sport a/s 3. (shave lug bolts down about 3mm so no parking brake interference)
