I would think 9.5 at 50 will tuck in more or even 52

nkc

Suppose i run 8.5f and 9.5r with the oem offsets , 45 and 54, do you think it will rub ?

Roswell

Yes 19x9.5 +50 or +52 will be tucked in more than 19x10 +50 or +52. That's why I think the x10 will look too aggressive at stock height.

U do not want to run +45 & +54 on such expensive & good looking wheels as the P101, it would be a waste as u want them as flush as possible. But to answer ur question, no u won't rub with those width & offset.

P.S if u want to maximize the rear concavity, only 19x10 +50 will achieve what u want. 19x9.5 +50 won't give u much if any at all.

nkc

After looking at your pictures again, i would think to get it flush on stock height and not shoot out like ur initial rear , then
19x8.5 +41
19x10 +54
Urs was 52 at the back, right? So with 54 it goes in a little and is flush with the fender ? And i still get some concavity ?

Roswell

If u want a lil concavity w/o the poke & stretch look. I would follow Tal's suggestion with 19x10 +52 like the blue C63 has. U won't get any concavity @ +54.

Roswell

My old wheels could have been +52 or +50, not 100% sure as that wheel company kept their offset secret unlike HRE. Lol

nkc

But in other to get concavity, the wheels would then protrude out just like what u avoided,
Will leave the concavity and play it safe with these, since i cant be lowered, saddddd


19x8.5 +42

19x9.5 +52

Did some quick measurements and i think this will just be spot on, no protrusions from any of the wheels with the tyres mounted.

Thanks for all ur help

Roswell

I think the blue C63 looks good & u can see a bit of concavity. I would go 19x10 +52 no matter ur suspension set-up. U won't rub with ur 275/30 at stock height.

nkc

Yea but it will shoot out a little bit frm the fender ?

Roswell

Humm, ask Tal to post more pics of the blue car.. Can't be worst than my set. Lol

Roswell

Nevermind, found this.. Looks hot!!

Lol

nkc

That looks fantastic

10 at 52 wins hands down

nkc

Although the car is lowered on springs , that helps with the stance

Roswell

do it right the first time.. Don't do like I did, 5 sets of wheels before I got satisfied. Lol

Roswell

Can't help u on the debate of lowering vs not lowering.

nkc

Hahahahah, ok u win

Will do 10 at 52

I am positive it will look good on the p31

nkc

Trust me i wish i can lower the car myself, if it was a DIY i will gladly do it, just need writeup and tools

Roswell

^^ why no shop in Nigeria is capable of lowering ur C63?

Post pics once u get them, what finish are u going for? U won't be disappointed in HRE quality & customer service. It's going to look hot!! Wish I could afford a set of P101.

Off topic, we are renting 1 of our houses to ur high commissioner from Nigeria in Ottawa, Canada.. This is our second contract with ur country, nice ppl!!

nkc

I dont trust the mechanics here, dont want to beat someone up for messing the car, so i painstakingly do everything myself, i just saw a diy for spring on the 204 forum section , i may buy the springs and the tools and take one day and do everything myself , i think h r springs are the best or is there another ?

Finish is satin black , i hope i wont the cost is killing me already.

Oh really nice to hear, they better behave and rep us properly ..... First impression matters a lot, thanks for ur astounding time and patience answering my troublesome questions .

Ur the best

Roswell

Swapping springs should be easy if u have the springs compressors. If u don't have it, do like my friend did & bring the shocks assembly only to the garage to have them compress it. It can be dangerous if u don't know what u r doing.

Good choice on the satin black, it will make ur red calipers pop!

As for the diplomats, they are very demanding actually.. But it's to be expected as they want nothing but the best... Like ur expensive taste in wheels. Lol

nkc

My plan is simple, once i decide the springs or coil over, since its the same method for both, i will order the spring compressor also and all the necessary tools , and turn to a proper mechanic😂

Hahaha, no expensive taste o, just that am fedup of poor offsets and rim widths , i need something new

Girard@ACGautomotive

Thank you sir

Boom! The man knows his wheels

Always bro. Can't get enough of this one

Roswell

..and u wanted to order 10k$ HRE with +45/+54 offset. Lol

I'm telling u, go all out from the start. I'm in love with my set-up.

Roswell

Actually I don't Tal, I just learn a lot after purchasing many wheels for this car. Such an expensive hobby.

Btw, why aren't u on CF series HRE wheels by now? Lol
