The Mercedes C204/205 Coupe/Cabriolet (2007–2023) uses a 5x112 bolt pattern, 66.6 mm centre bore, M14x1.5 bolts torqued to ~130 Nm. It accepts ~7J–8.5J wheels at ET16–ET49 front; staggered setups run 8J–10J rear (ET20–ET56). That is the short version of Mercedes C Class wheel fitment; the full picture is below.

Overview

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe/Cabriolet is part of the fourth generation W205 series, produced from 2014 to 2023. It was introduced as a fastback coupé variant and later renamed to Mercedes-Benz CLC-Class before being replaced by the new W204 C-Class coupé in 2012 for the 2013 model year. The fourth generation, launched in 2014, featured an extended wheelbase and tracks, a stiffer body/shell, and design cues from the S-Class and CLS-Class.

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:

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.
