Are there any good quality fenders out there I can purchase so I can fit a much wider tire on a 1999 C280?

 

i dont know about any fenders but i have seen some wheel arch extensions that dont look too bad. check out www.overboost.com they might have something for you.

 

hard site for searching

 

what size wheels do you want to run?
cos im sure without to much modding and without fender additions you can run 255 rear and 225-235 front

 

10in wide wheels is what i would like to shoot for and spacers if needed.

 

id go for 9.5" wide with 35-40mm offset if you get a 35 offset you may need a 5mm spacer, that should allow you to run 255 or 265 out rear.
you could run 10" with an offset of 35mm, but you would need to attempt to flare the rear guards slighlty to ensure no rear rubbing, or atleast take out the plastic lining and do a bit of panel beating on the inside to ensure no inside rubbing also. with that size rim you wont be able to lower it too much
what do u wana run up front?

thats my 2c anyway

 

I was shooting for 295s in the rear with slightly smaller in the front

 

I have 19x8.5 fronta dn 19x9.5 rear offset 35mm

With 225front and 265 rear. I woudent go any wider, it just wouldent fit!
You can try a 10 with perhaps a 255 or 245 rubber its gunna be a streach!

 

if you can pull off a 295 in the rear man i will be impressed! without rubbing 235 will really be your limit up front.
but 295 is a bit rediculus unless your c is making like 500+hp why is that necessory?
maby you could tub the rear

 

A portion of the lip on the front and rear fender have to be cut and some flares need to be molded in. I was hoping to find a one piece after market front flared fender but there doesn't seem to be to much of a selection out there for M-Benz. The car will be built for Auto-X in the future.
