I like the fact that this has a poll and there is nothing to poll about :laugh: :laugh: Erm you would be able to fit 18's without any problems, 19's maybe at a push but if i where you i would stick to the 18's, better ride and handling and no mods need to stick them on. What wheels you been looking at???

Do you know what style amg c class alloys your looking at? They did some different style's. If they are 18's they will fit but the merc wheels do have a different pcd so you will have to pay for some adaptors to make them fit? If you are looking at 19's then the amg style are usally quiet wide so maybe some mods needed?

no i think i will just stick to 18" wheels i think they might be slk 5 spoke with the big hud. i don't mind spacers just don't want to roll the arches.

AAAHHHH i see what wheels you are on about now, they are common on E class merc's and old skool C class mercs. If i where you i would keep an eye out for E class merc wheels more likly to find a set. Are you bothered by them being gen or rep wheels???? I know someone who get hold of these wheel all day long cheap, what sort of money you looking to spend??? With or without tyres?

Go for 17"s or 18"s with the correct offset you should have no issues.
