I believe the fronts will rub with a high offset like that. I have ET38 with 18x8 and i can fit the tip of my index finger between the tire and the suspension nut.
Will carlssons 18x8.5 et 40 fit 202's?
thanks in advance

Please correct me if I am wrong . Isnt it that the higher the offset the further it is from the brake caliper/suspension or is it the other way around?
I had carlsson 1/6 19x8,5 offset 40 before. It was not rubbing at all, when you buy a carlssson, they bring it the spacer as well (5mm).

A higher offet will bring the wheel closer into the car....an et40 18x8.5 should rub on the front,best to use a et35 with an 8.5!Originally posted by allirroz

i have had 19s and 18's with 40mm offset and neither rub. a 5mm spacer would be prime how ever.

suprised the 235/40 didnt rub!...must have been close man!...
225's on the 19 would have saved you though!...i run 235/35 et35 and theres 5mm between the top nut,guess it all depends on your brand of tire as well...

R19X10 off set 35 245/30
If you use the ET 35mm x 17x 8.5" you can run a 245/40/17 or other tires of the same width and height.
You need to roll the fenderlip on a non AMG car, although I seem to recall that in 1998 all the C Class came with the front fenders rolled up tight already.

You gotta remember, the lower the offset, the more the wheel sticks out. Higher the offset, it goes in.Originally posted by pierrebond
