How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
Most of the engineering value in a forged wheel over a cast one shows up in rotational mass, not outright strength — both can meet the same load rating, but the forged piece gets there lighter. On a sedan platform tuned for everyday balance, that weight saving is felt directly in steering response and ride quality.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class runs a 5x112 bolt pattern, 66.6mm center bore, and a F: 15x6.5J wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is F 16x7.5J ET35 / R 16x8.0J ET38, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is F 17x8.0J ET32 / R 17x8.5J ET35 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Mercedes-Benz C-Class OE Wheel Specs
The 1995 Mercedes-Benz C-Class (Executive Sedan) uses a 5x112 bolt pattern with a 66.6mm center bore. Factory wheels are F: 15x6.5J R: 15x7.0J.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with everyday fuel efficiency
- A widely used size in this segment, so tire and wheel availability stays strong
- Keeps unsprung weight low for stable, predictable handling
- Maintains clearance for the factory brake calipers and suspension components
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Mercedes-Benz C-Class (1995) we drill the 5x112 pattern and cut the centre bore to 66.6mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.
Converting these ET figures to backspacing? Use the wheel offset and backspacing calculator.
The figures on this page are part of our open wheel fitment dataset — 10,093 vehicles, free to download, CC BY 4.0.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: F 15x6.5J ET37 → ~5.21″ F backspacing, R 15x7.0J ET37 → ~5.46″ R backspacing
- Flush: F 16x7.5J ET35 → ~5.63″ F backspacing, R 16x8.0J ET38 → ~6″ R backspacing
- Max: F 17x8.0J ET32 → ~5.76″ F backspacing, R 17x8.5J ET35 → ~6.13″ R backspacing
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Mercedes-Benz spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Mercedes-Benz C-Class? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Mercedes-Benz C-Class use?
The 1995 Mercedes-Benz C-Class uses a 5x112 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Mercedes-Benz C-Class use?
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x112), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class's center bore is 66.6mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
Factory wheels on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class are F: 15x6.5J R: 15x7.0J.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Mercedes-Benz C-Class without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is F 17x8.0J ET32 / R 17x8.5J ET35. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend F 16x7.5J ET35 / R 16x8.0J ET38 as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 5.63" backspacing up front and 6" in the rear.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Mercedes-Benz C-Class?
Yes — the Mercedes-Benz C-Class's factory and our recommended flush/max fitments already use staggered sizing (different width front and rear), and ANKUSI can forge matching staggered sets to your target offsets.
Wheel Installation Reference: Torque, Thread & TPMS
Thread & Fastener: M14x1.5, ball-seat lug bolt.
Factory Torque Spec: 130 Nm (96 ft-lb). Sedan/coupe platforms (E-Class, CLS, SL and similar) generally use the shorter 27mm bolt at this spec.
TPMS: Vehicles built before the 2008 model year were not federally required to carry factory TPMS in the US, though many manufacturers adopted it earlier; verify whether your specific build has TPMS before ordering sensor-compatible wheels.
Tire Pressure: Always set tire pressure to the value on your vehicle's tire placard (driver's doorjamb or glovebox), not the max PSI printed on the tire sidewall — this is trim- and tire-size-specific and stays the same reference point when you switch to a different wheel and tire combination.
Reference data compiled from published OEM service specifications and cross-checked against independent repair sources; always confirm against your owner's manual or door-jamb placard before installation.
