Audi's rim for Mercs

[APR C180]

Need some advices; can this Audi 18" rims fit our W204? PCD is the same but was told that the offset is ET35. One of the reputable shops told me can fix and the ride will look aggressive due to this offset....

[blackmercs]

Yap, aggressive means protrude too much out from the fender. Rubbing fender will be the issue. Also check the center bore is it the same as Mercs?

[jon]

Bro, tested offset 35 on my ride (180 FL) before... the wheels protrude out. Risk of rubbing issue. Finally decided not to take risk and did not buy.

If you can wait, come for May's GTG. You get to ask around, can pull blackmercs away from his chio bu's, get some explanation before you dive in with your rim upgrades. Esp after a couple of our guys didn't fare so well with their initial rim upgrades.

Hi bro, this is a caractere rim. Offset is accpetable if it's plus minus 5. For your case, 10 is too much, If you really like this rim, it actually comes with the correct offset for your car. If I am not mistaken, Autovox and HAT carries them (may need to order).

thanks for the info as still deciding on which 18" to replace the stock 17" and found that this caractere rim will look special on a Mercs.

LS do have stock for 18" with ET35 offset, was advice 18x8 will not rub fender but 18x8.5 and above will not clear. Centre bore also no issue...still deciding to chg or not....

I am a sucker for AMG rims too bro, but frankly, there are tons of rims out there lighter than the AMG rims. And best they are not staggered.

I have been thinking about the AMG rims for a long time Liao.....the higher fc and faster rubber wear is the only reason I'm still stock!

[APR C180]

Mine also stock 17" and staggered. Haha, my heart keep echoing chg chg chg......

I'm fat so i avoid offset 35.

If i get any fatter, likely to rub.

for 8j, 35 offset will be very nice at the rear.

Front too aggressive for my liking.

gonna have mud splatter all the way up to my door.
