1998 Mercedes-Benz C280 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1998 Mercedes-Benz C280 accepts five-lug, 112-millimeter bolt-pattern wheels. The factory setup runs 15x6.5 inches with a 31-millimeter offset. You can upgrade through 18x10 inches, staying square across all four corners. Intermediate sizes like 16x7.5 or 17x8 offer popular modern styling while keeping your C-Class handling balanced.
The 5x112 bolt pattern is exclusive to your vehicle—no other pattern will fit. Your hub measures 66.6 millimeters; use hub-centric rings if your wheel's center bore exceeds that size, ensuring a secure, vibration-free mount. Aggressive width and offset combinations risk contact with fenders and suspension geometry, so confirm fitment before ordering anything significantly wider or offset differently than stock.
Every wheel in our 1998 C280 catalog bolts on correctly and ships free to the lower 48 states. Heritage Wheel, Aodhan, Motegi Racing, Work Wheels, Niche 1PC, Petrol, Rotiform 1PC, and MRR all stock sizes that fit your sedan perfectly.
