whats size tires r u running ad did u need spacers on the front ones?

CLK55AMGW208 · 08-30-2011, 03:06 PM

ya sorry forgot to put specs. the front is 235/35/19 rear is 265/30/19 . yes i had to add a little 5mm hub centric spacers on all for wheels just to be on a safe side cause the front is really close to a nut on the suspension and the rear is too close to the rubber panel inside.

hami · 08-30-2011, 03:21 PM

yea i had the same problem with my w208 but i never got around to putting the rims on (yea im that lazy)

looking good man take care of those babies!

CLK55AMGW208 · 08-30-2011, 06:15 PM

ya its not hard fix just make sure u get the right hub centric spacers should be fine

AMGY · 08-31-2011, 02:05 PM

Looks great. I would drop it a little though

CLK55AMGW208 · 08-31-2011, 02:28 PM

yes i know but based on my previous experience with other lowered cars. i didn' t want to go though all the trouble for the tires. those 19 are expensive! maybe i will change my mind later but now it look fine the wheel gaps isn't that bad. If i would lower H&R spring will be ideal. it lowed 1 inch front and 0.9 inch rear which is ideal not too aggresive on the camber.

You car looks fantastic mate! The wheels flow fantastic with it. Question about your spacers, where did you find 5mm hubcentrics? I'm doing some spacer swapping and searched all over the place but didn't find anything hub centric under 10mm (some claimed it but the pictures clearly showed they were not hub centric).

Thanks.

Looking very nice

Keep it as it is and avoid scrapping the underside on the road and every speed bumb

thanks bro for the kind words. the hub centric spacers you see on the market under 10mm are not the real thing like u said. those usually were done by custom machine shop to tailer for ur wheels. u prob need to find someone who can custom made for you. i got mine from the shop owner who happen have a extra set for his W209 CLK55.
