Looking for pics of your 2017+ mercedes c class coupe with aftermarket wheels. I currently have the oem 18" 5 spoke wheels and looking to replace them with either the 19" amg multispoke or some aftermarket 19's. I've searched and can't seem to find pics of aftermarket wheels on these cars. Thanks in advance!

 

Not the best quality pics as the weather has been terrible lately, but here are a couple that I snapped prior to lowering with H&R springs. The wheels are Vorsteiner V-FF 107's (19x8.5 front/19x9.5 rear)

 

 

I ended up going with the 19" AMG multispokes. However from going from the 18 to 19's the rear ride height is about 0.3" higher than before so I'm looking to get it lowered a bit. This is a 4matic with the 677 avantgarde/standard suspension. After doing some research it looks like my options are the H&R sport springs or the Eibach pro kit. These will lower the car about 1" and I'm just wondering with that drop would there be any rubbing or issues with speed bumps etc? Thanks in advance

 

I have the sport suspension, and went with the H&R springs (my original reply with pics above were pre-install). My drop ended up settling at just over 1", though with the standard suspension you should expect closer to 1 3/8". Installation was a bit trickier than I had planned for, but I am very happy with the results! The car looks much more aggressive, without looking slammed.

 

Thanks! I believe my suspension is the same height as the sport so I'm expecting a 1" drop as well. There's currently about a 3 finger gap. Have you experienced any issues with rubbing or with speedbumps or scraping down driveways etc?

 

No clearance issues at all. The ride is a just bit firmer, but I actually prefer it.

 

Would you mind posting the model number of your H&R springs?

 

Reading through - certainly costly and time consuming effort!
