Genuine 18's to 19's Bit of Advice needed.

[Ronan1982]

Hi all,
just looking for some advice, as its been years since I messed about with changing wheels offsets etc!

I own a 2013 Mercedes C204 that comes with 18" Amg Sport Plus alloys.

I think the Details for my 18" wheels are as follows:

Front alloy wheels: 18x7.5" ET47
Rear alloy wheels: 18x8.5" ET54



I am looking to change the Wheels for the Exact same one just 19" off the E Class Coupe, just like bigger wheels and it will fill that tiny arch gap as well as looking original.

only details I can find on them is:

Front & Rear alloy wheels: 19x8.5" ET44

Although I am sure the rear is 9.5" wide. Some say they will fit, other say they wont, to close to the suspension strut. Then people have said use spacers etc.

Picture is just for reference. Same car as mine.

Any help appreciated.

regards

Does your handbook show a 19" option wheel for your model?

The overall diameter of the wheel/tyre combo will be the same as the recommended tyre will be a lower side-wall. That arch gap will remain the same

As far as I am aware there is no 19" option only for the C63,

But the C204 can accommodate 19"s (Carlsson Wheels etc )

Thanks

I put larger wheels on a car once, just made the arch gap bigger. Had to get lowering springs.

It's all an optical illusion. One must keep the rolling circumference the same by fitting the correct tyres, keeping the speedometer and odometer accurate, not to mention ESP etc..

I am not changing them to fill the arches! If need be I can drop the car.. I just prefer the bigger rim,
But I just want to know if them E Coupe Rims would work on my C class.

Thanks

I run 19in AMG on my w204. Not the same model, I know, but they work.

Ride can be a bit bumpy but apart from that they are OK and certainly improve the looks of the car.

This is Proving tricky ,
I used that link Abb sent and it does not say they wont fit! was useful though, thanks.


Do you mind me asking what size your 19"s are width wise Vijilants?

Think I can get 8J Width Max on the Fronts and 9J Max on the rears (C63 Size)

I am looking at 8.5J On the Front and 9.5J on the Rears on the Specific design I want.

Hi,

I'm running 235/35/ZR19s all around on Genuine AMGs.

I could tell you the width of the wheels when a wheel has to come off.

I get no rubbing or any issues in that respect.

Might make this post a little Clearer,

First Picture is my current set up on my C Class Coupe:

PCD 5 X 112 Bore 66.6 (All 3 Set ups seem to have the Same PCD and CB)

Front: 18 x 7.5" ET 47

Rear: 18 x 8.5" ET 54



Looking to replace the current rims, with either of the following 2 set up's from the E Class.

Second Picture:

E Class Coupe

Both Rims:

Front and Rear - 19 x 8.5" ET 44

(No Concave Rear)


Third Picture:

E Class Saloon


Front:19 x 8.5" ET 48

Rear : 19 x 9.5" ET 48

(Concave Rear)



As far as I know, the size/Width of both set ups will fit on my car! The only stumbling block is the ET
which I don't know bugger all about.

Any help if any of the E Class set ups will work on my car would be appreciated. Or do I need Spacers, Adaptors etc?

Cheers Chaps!

Ronan.

Both E class wheels will work AFAIK

However, if ur c class coupe is lowered, you will need ET45 minimum at rear to avoid rubbing at load or bumps.

Car is sitting as standard just on the AMG shortened suspension!
Thanks
