1997 Mercedes-Benz C280 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1997 Mercedes-Benz C280 bolts on five-by-112 wheels centered at 66.6 millimeters. The car rolls stock on 15-by-6.5 wheels with a 31-millimeter offset. You can step up through 16-inch, 17-inch, or 18-inch diameters while staying square across all four corners, choosing widths that match your desired look and driving needs.
The five-by-112 bolt pattern is fixed—only wheels with that specific pattern will fit your C280. Since your Mercedes uses a 66.6-millimeter hub bore, you'll need to run hub-centric rings on any aftermarket wheel with a larger center bore to ensure proper seating. Aggressive offsets or very wide setups risk interference with fenders and suspension components, so verify fitment before purchase.
Every wheel we stock for your C280 ships free across the lower 48 states. Check out options from Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Motegi Racing, Work Wheels, Niche 1PC, Petrol, Rotiform 1PC, and MRR—all verified to bolt on cleanly.
