Clc 200 cdi
Hi
I have just got a 2010 Mercedes clc 200 cdi And had it serviced at Mercedes they showed me that 3 out of the 4 wheels are buckled also they are not in great condition
I was looking at getting a spare set of clc wheels to get them refurbished but then I thought by the time I buy them not knowing if they have been repaired then pay to get them refurbished I could probably buy a new set
I found these I think they are wider but I was just wondering if they would fit and what sort of tyres I would need for them
Any help would be appreciated or if you know any better options that might be available to me
Any help would be greatly appreciated

They seem very wide , there was another thread a few weeks ago where someone had ,from memory , gone to a similar size and the wheel was fouling the suspension. There's a thread on this site " will these wheels fit ". It's the offset that's the most important. 9.5 J is a bit OTT.
 
Welcome to the forum:thumb:

Agree with the comment above, 9.5j is really too wide for a CLC.
Take a look at this website and the OEM alloys that will fit your car and if you fancy any, see if there are any good used ones on eBay.


You need to be careful getting aftermarket wheels as not only do you need the correct offset (ET) you need the correct bolt hole configuration and bolt size. A CLC uses M12 radius head bolts. Many MB wheels use M14 bolts so you see you need to be careful.

If you spot something, post here and get an opinion from someone with a little experience of fitting aftermarket wheels. Above all, they must be Mercedes fitment.

Once you have decided on a suitable set of alloys and know the sizes,, you can get advice here on what size tyres will fit correctly.
 
My wheels on the rear are 9 j and carry a 255/35/19 tyre. Messing around with wheel sizes can severely change the handling , what’s more is classed as a modification which insurances companies need to know about.
 
Thanks for the help
Would these be the correct size?

See AMGeed's post and compare. The ET's are way out , rear for 18x8.5J should be 30 the ones your looking at are 49 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are W205 alloys and the bolt holes are M14. You need M12 bolt holes.
And as above, the ET(offset) would mean using 20mm spacers to bring them out to where they should sit.
 
As well as W203 C class, CLK alloys, W210 E class and R171 SLK alloys all use M12 bolts.
You just need to get very close to the correct offsets
Front ET36, Rear ET30
 
Looking on eBay now
There’s so many on there it’s hard to know what ones will fit
I might have to get the same style and get them refurbished
 
Will these be ok? everything is a perfect fit except for the et it is +6 on both wheels

^ Wrong size bolt holes.
W204's use M14
You need M12 as I mentioned previously.
