Mercedes C Class wheel fitment — Sportcoupé
Mercedes C Class wheel fitment
Mercedes C Class wheel fitment comes down to two things: the factory hub spec, and how far the aftermarket width and offset can move from it. Both are here for the Mercedes C Class Sportcoupé (2000–2007).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x112 |
| Centre bore | 66.6 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 110 Nm |
| Seat type | radius |
| Factory setup | staggered |
| TPMS | direct |
| Run-flat | Yes |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–8J | ET-24–ET38 |
| Rear (staggered) | 8J–11J | ET-16–ET37 |
Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.
Overview
The Mercedes-Benz C Class Sportcoupé is part of the second generation W203 series, introduced in March 2000 with production beginning in March 1999. It was initially available as a fastback coupé variant and later renamed to CLC-Class. The model featured inline-four and V6 petrol engines alongside inline-four and -five diesel options, with common rail direct fuel injection and variable geometry turbochargers for the diesels. Production of this Sportcoupé ceased in 2011 when it was replaced by a new W204 C-Class coupé.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 340,482 Mercedes C Class on UK roads, placing it in the top 1% of car models by volume across our fitment database.
That makes Mercedes C Class wheel fitment a high-demand spec to keep in stock. It is one reason we track it here.
