SSR Wheels MS3 18x8.5 +35 specs (staggered)

The wheels are 18-inch in diameter and 8.5 inches wide with a +35 offset up front, and 18-inch by 10 inches at +22 in the rear, in the 4x100 bolt pattern the Mercedes-Benz C250 uses.

A +35 offset on a 8.5-inch wide wheel puts the wheel face in a mild push toward the fender. Lower offset moves the wheel outward; higher offset tucks it in. The rear +22 offset on the 10-inch wheel pushes the rear out further for the staggered look.

245/35R18 / 275/30R18 tires on 18x8.5 wheels

The tire size is 245/35R18 front and 275/30R18 rear: a 245 mm section width with a 35 aspect ratio on the 18-inch wheel, which gives a meaty fit (the tire is wider than the wheel, so the sidewall bulges a little and gives more cushion).
