Width and offset guidance

Offset range

Check the exact setup

There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.

Common width limit

Measure before ordering

A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.

These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.

Clearance notes

  • Mercedes specifies 130 Nm. Use bolts with the correct seat and engagement for the wheel.
  • Some generic online guides list M12 hardware for this generation. Mercedes original parts and wheel approval documents specify M14x1.5, used here.
  • These examples exclude the C63, which needs its own brake and body-clearance assessment.
  • C43 and other 4MATIC models need an approved front and rear tyre pairing. Do not select the two axle sizes independently.
  • Body styles and model years have different approvals. The stock entries identify the relevant package rather than claiming one universal W205 wheel.
  • Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.
