Overview

The fourth generation (W205) of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class was launched in 2014, marking a significant shift towards lightweight materials and advanced technology. The W205 platform introduced extensive use of aluminium and high-strength steel to reduce weight by approximately 100 kilograms compared to its predecessor. This generation featured four body styles: sedan (W205), wagon (S205), coupe (C205), and cabriolet (A205). Production commenced in February 2014 at the Bremen plant, with additional manufacturing sites in South Africa, Brazil, and the United States. The W205 was positioned as a technologically advanced compact executive car, offering improved fuel efficiency and dynamic handling.

As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
