Hi,

Can someone tell me how to fit 19" AMG Styling V wheels on my stock w203 c-class without ruining the car too much?
(The wheels are actually for SL-class)

I don't really like the 18" one for the c-class (too small).

The dimensions (I think) are: 8.5 x 19 et46

What would I need to do to my car to fit these beautiful wheels?

Thanks.

 

Hmm. I haven't seen the Styling V in 19" yet. It may be something new. The AMG Styling V's that I have seen were for the R230 SL-Class cars but in 8.5x18 ET30 front and 9.5x18 ET33 rear. Usually the AMG wheels that are ET44 or ET46 are designed to fit the high offset vehicles such as the C215 CL-Class and W/V220 & W/V221 S-Class. The 18" Styling V wheels are a bit aggressive offset wise, but you should be able to get them to work if you have your fenders rolled. The main issue with running these wheels with your C-Class will be the lug seating. Your W203 C-Class uses 12x1.5 lug bolts. The wheels are made for an R230 SL-Class which uses 14x1.5 lug bolts. You will need to use custom lug bolts that are 12x1.5 with a 14x1.5 seat. Otherwise the lugs will not seat properly in the wheel and you will risk lug failure which could involve the wheel coming off while you are driving. If the wheels really are 8.5x19 ET46 then most likely they were made for the S & CL which also uses 14x1.5 lug bolts. Plus ET46 will tuck in too much for your W203 so you will need to run some TUV approved spacers and custom lugs with the appropriate length.
