RE: Need Help Buying Wheels

The rim widths sound fine but the offset has me a little worried, the W210 likes an offset of anything between 30 & 40, and not more/less than that.

However if you really want them on your car I'd advise you to go for 235/40R18 on the front and 265/35R18 on the rear.

Good luck (PM me if you need any further info/help)

RE: Need Help Buying Wheels

Too high of an offset and the lug hole size may be 14mm instead of 12mm.

RE: Need Help Buying Wheels

Do not make the buy, is my opinion (also). The offset
of the rims is too deep. To make this work will require
a handfull of spacers, longer lugs, larger diameter lug
bolts, maybe ball seat differential, etc not to mention
the potential for handling issues or suspension stress
related problems which may develop. Luke at TireRack
discourages the use of spacers. Get wheels which fit
your car, not to jury rig the wheels not designed for
your vehicle. By the time you factor in the additional
cost for these added parts, you may have arguably gotten
proper rims with 35-ish offsets in the first place.
