Can you put a set of non offset wheels on a pair of offset tires?

I have a 2011 mercedes c300 and wanted carthage (black) tsw wheels and they are not offset, but my cars stock tires are offset. Can i put those wheels on? if so are there any effects such as handling differences?Can you put a set of non offset wheels on a pair of offset tires?
If you take it to a mechanic they would probably advise against it. In your owner's manual it should list which tires are compatible for your vehicle or you can use the link below. The tires need to mount properly on your existing rims and fit inside the chassis. Aside from handling issues having incorrect equipment on your car can damage parts or even cause an accident from mechanical failure.
Like Jerry said, tires don't care about offset, only wheels. The offset measurement helps the tires not hit the body %26amp; suspension parts, %26amp; you can use spacers between the brake %26amp; the wheel to correct a bit of a problemCan you put a set of non offset wheels on a pair of offset tires?
An offset wheel means how far the disk is from the centre of the rim. Tires do not have offsets.
LOL! Offset tires. LOLCan you put a set of non offset wheels on a pair of offset tires?
