Mercedes C Class AMG wheel fitment — 30 Cdi 203 Coupe
Overview
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class W203 is the second generation of compact executive cars produced by Mercedes-Benz Group AG. Introduced in March 2000, production began in March 1999 as a replacement for the first-generation W202 model. The sedan debuted with a range of inline-four and V6 petrol engines alongside inline-four and -five diesel options, later featuring common rail direct fuel injection and variable geometry turbochargers on diesel variants. Notably, post-2005 models saw number designations no longer directly correlating to engine displacement. Available in sedan, station wagon, and SportCoupé body styles (later renamed CLC-Class), the W203 was produced until 2010.

|---|---|---|
| Front | 7.5J–8.5J | ET22–ET38 |
| Rear (staggered) | 9J–10.5J | ET20–ET37 |
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.
