1997 Mercedes-Benz C230 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1997 Mercedes-Benz C230 uses a 5x112 bolt pattern with a 66.6mm hub-centric center bore. The stock wheel is 15x6.5 with a 31mm offset. You can upgrade to 15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7, 16x7, 16x7.5, 16x8, 17x7, 17x7.5, 17x8, or 18x10—all compatible sizes for this non-staggered setup.
The 5x112 bolt pattern is specific to your C230; no other fitment will work safely. Since your hub measures 66.6mm, use hub-centric rings if you choose a wheel with a larger center bore to ensure proper fitment and vibration-free driving. Aggressive widths or radical offsets outside the compatible range risk rubbing against fenders or suspension components, so stick with the sizes listed.
Every wheel in our 1997 Mercedes-Benz C230 fitment ships free to the lower 48 states and is verified to bolt on correctly. Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Motegi Racing, Work Wheels, Niche 1PC, Petrol, Rotiform 1PC, and MRR all have inventory ready to ship.
