How does your suspension affect what wheel specs you should choose ? Or does is not ? Feel dumb asking but i want my car to sit a little lower than it currently is so is is worth calculating these measurements now before i lower it or would it be better to wait until after ? Seems logical to wait but thought it be good to check with an expert 😁

@@fitmentindustriesgarage5583 Sure thing :) I meant in the sense of like the wheel colours that go well with car colours in general. Like if you have a white car, what colour wheels would match. Or a blue car, etc. I'm sure it's impossible to list every combination, but I was wondering if there are guidelines. Like if you have a red car and you make the wheels blue then it'll look bad. Or even shades, like if you have a light shade car colour. Do you match the wheels to the car colour or do you go for a darker wheel colour? With regards to my car, I have a 2008 Nissan 350z and it's a matte white front that fades smoothly to matte black in the rear. I'm going to add the RocketBunny kit and ESR LT11's but I don't know what colour combination to go with. Like if the face must be white or black, or lip be black to match or hardware colour. Initially it was gonna be white face with black lip and white hardware, but then I thought about the face being black. I just don't want the wheel details to be lost. So that gave me the idea of what is the guidelines for picking wheel colours that match your car 😅 Hopefully that makes sense 😅

This video described things that many other videos don't. Thanks! To go further, what we need is a calculator that lets us put in the section width of the new tire. It is misleading using only the tread size!

My question is once you find out your offset than what is the calculation to figure out the minimum and maximum offset allowed?

Looking for help. Will 235/45/17 tires on wheels with 38 offset work on a 2010 cls 550?

Really useful thanks

The factory offset is 35 I believe. Maybe the best thing is to just leave the car stock or maybe get wheels from the sport trim of your car model. Most stock wheels are much better than aftermarket unless you go with a super expensive alternative

this is true but doing research with all these number you can find a bigger or smaller “rim” and adjust the tire accordingly to keep the total measurement of the tire. In this video his car is obviously lowered so you could go more aggressive on stock suspension and than adjust coils to your liking! And let’s be honest some people can’t go without new aftermarket wheels like myself 🤣🙂

What about when you turn the front wheel such that the front or rear of it is outside the fender and you encounter a bump that pushes the suspension up? Aren't you going to have clearance issues then because of the overlap of fender and tire?

As long as you don't have poke/your wheels can't contact the fender, you should be fine. On typical suspension setups, it comes down to the suspension geometry.

That is a little to close for my comfort. I hope you're on some stiff air-springs or coil-overs. Not sure if you track the car or not. The body roll that Benz would experience especially if you take corners like an AMG is capable of doing you're gonna be rubbing the fenders. I'm sure you're aware of that though. Just something I noticed. From one Euro owner to another.

Exactly. Of course he's not aware of what you pointed out. That's why he's out there with a ruler & measuring tape trying to figure out what Benz engineers already did when they engineered the car. Got a crazy feeling they didn't do it by going out to the driveway with a ruler.

I’m just not able to wrap my head around this. It’s very discouraging having a car that is currently rubbing everywhere and I don’t know how to fix it.

Pro tip just use metric guys. Way easier and just convert it to standard.

Guy uses the straight edge the wrong way. Close enough I suppose. LOL

I had high hopes this would help me but you talked way too quickly and didn't show visually the calculations so much, so I was lost in seconds.

Funny thing is, THE ENGINEERS HAVE DONE THIS ALREADY. If you use the proper offsets, you'll have 0% issues 100% of the time under 100% of all conditions of driving, road conditions & suspension travel. The problem is, people go out to their driveway with a ruler & tape measure & think "well I didn't rub when I turned in this parking lot, so I guess 100% of my suspension geometry is totally figured out!" Aftermarket, etc wheel manufacturers COULD try actually making wheels with proper offsets to begin with, but that would make too much sense. Let me go get my string, because of course my string knows more than Mercedes engineers do.

This video was not helpful, its does not give you an exact way to measure but more of guessing situation.

OR ... just use your existing wheels as a guide to then know how much further you want your wheels to sit instead of faffing about with all the unnecessary time wasting bs in the video
