Mercedes C Class wheel fitment — C204/205 Saloon/Coupe Inc Facelift
Overview
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class W205 generation was launched in 2014 as a compact executive car, replacing the previous W204 model. It featured an advanced lightweight construction using aluminum and high-strength steel to reduce weight by approximately 100 kg compared to its predecessor. The W205 chassis supported four body styles: sedan (W205), station 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. Sales began in Europe in March 2014 and North America in September of the same year.
Mercedes C Class wheel fitment
Mercedes C Class wheel fitment for the Mercedes C204/205 Saloon/Coupe Inc Facelift (2007–2023): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.

| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 110 Nm |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6J–7.5J | ET13–ET55 |
| Rear (staggered) | 8J–10J | ET18–ET53 |
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.
