Default I'm thinking of these wheels... any good?

I'm hoping that the ride won't be too bad if I go with them. There's a local guy with a set for $350, I can get him to $300, plus I've got a buddy who will give me 250 for my current wheels... You get the idea.

The bolt pattern supports 5x100 & 5x114.3 ... That will work on our cars, right? I don't know too much about our wheels, but I've got a 2002 180. What's the current width that we have (stock?).

stock rim is a 17"x7.5" and yeah, 5x100 pattern.

I'm currently running a 18x8.5, a 19x8 if thats what you're getting, should be fine.

Use this to calculate rim/tire sizes so you keep the same rolling radius, and consequently, a correct speedometer.

They should fit. But you may need spacers to clear on the inside with the 35mm offset. According to the calculator 20mm front and 25 mm rear will get the lips to be roughly flush with the fender.

One thing to keep in mind, unless you are lowered, 19 inch wheels and tires are going to accentuate the gap and make it look like you are running around on wagon wheels.
