Probably not

Neither the front nor rear size is within the range this is guaranteed to fit. That doesn't mean they won't fit with a particular brand/model of tire, but chances are really high that they'll rub.

RE: Probably not

thats what I think, I read all the articles here about wheel size. I think the ET is too high.

can You recommend me what size should i use in 18" ?

thank you

Try 18x8 ET31 in front and 18x9 ET35 in the back. Don't go overboard with the ET and the rim width. Stay in the mid 30s for the offset.

RE: Probably not

You're best bet is 35mm offset front and rear.

The 225 front and 255 rear tire combination you mentioned before is perfect.

A bit 'bling bling' for my taste but overall not a bad looking wheel. I am curious as to how much they weigh.

yeah those rims are nice, a friend of mine has them on his C-class, color matched them red to red (the center piece) and they look like a custom 3 piece wheel. Weight is decent and no heavier than any other reputable-brand wheel.

BTW, for the previous setup you mentioned earlier, it SHOULD fit, considering you are stretching the rubber, up front you should have no problem...in the back, spacers MIGHT be needed, and you will DEFF. need to shave and/or roll your fender in the back ALOT if you plan in lowering the car...at the end, if you are going for a setup this radical, ITS ALL WORTH IT. it makes the car look like a whole different monster, not to mention the extra wide look you achieve in the back with the wide stretched tires and rims.
