Thanks. dnasty8305 took my money and ran. He never showed up again on this forum and I've reported to the police for a while but still didn't hear anything yet.

Didn't know you got ripped off

Anyway, if you can find a good shop to wrap it in CF, why not? Lorinser CF trunk lip is very very rare

Do you use any hubcentric rings on those MRRs?

andy_meng1024

Yeah I like the carbon fiber wrap but don't know where to find a shop to do it. I don't think I am using hubcentric rings on the new wheels. In fact, I just looked into it right now and still don't know what does it do. Is it like a spacer?

Yeap, because I saw the ads on Ebay that they fit Audi as well. I was curious about the wheel offset and centerbore.

You're running staggered set-up on your 4matic

kevblah

that sucks so much
maybe someone can run his license plate for you
and find out where the ******* lives

i dug up this picture of his car from a meet last april
license plate # 98SM64

Hey Kev...



Just kidding, I'd be pissed if someone stole enough money from me to buy new wheels.

Your car is looking tight Andy. Nice to see the E63 front on someone's car that isn't silver.

andy_meng1024

I don't remember what offsets for the wheels but they fit just fine. I've been running staggered setup for two years since I got the car and it's been fine. But I also got the 275/30/19 rear tires to make the total diameter only 0.1% different from the front tires though.

andy_meng1024

Thanks for the find. I have his number and address too. Just need to get some time and fly there to kick his @ss.

Thanks

looks really good.

andy_meng1024

Thanks. Your car looks great too.

I took my car in yesterday for alignment as the car keep leans to the right after the install. Today my dealer told me that they found out one of the front spring was installed up side down and they need another day or two to fix it. Has this happened to any of you before? Could this have damaged my car?

Car looks great...my rim deal fell through, so now these MRR's are at the top of my rim choice....but looking at your car, I have two questions:

1) will the 275 rear fit on my '05 C230 SS with that same offest (i'm assuming you have the et35 rear) w/o rubbing?

2) can the rim be kicked a bit more to the edge via a spacer with the 275 or would you need the 265? It just deosn't look as aggressive as some of the other rim pics i've seen.

andy_meng1024

1) It would fit but then you can't lower your car much or it'd rub. 265 is usually the largest size people would go for W203. I put 275 because on 4Matic I need the overall diameter to be the same with front. I think 265 would be a better choice for you.

2) Yes, you can use spacers to make it look more aggressive.

outaurleague

I'd say lower that width to even 255, i ran a decent drop on 265 and it was "okay". Pre slamm, i would have went down to a 255.

ghaffar23

How much of a drop did you get? 30mm? I'm looking at a 30mm from some Brabus 4matic springs. Also, how did the front springs get fixed up? Did you need a cup to hold the front springs on the bottom?

BabyBenz6spd

Its so rare people lower 4 matics, nicely done!

andy_meng1024

I don't know how much exactly but the gap was about 4 fingers and now it's about 1 1/2 to 2 fingers with no one in the car in the front. Back was 3 fingers and now it's 1 finger gap. I think on the websites it says 35 mm drop tho.

andy_meng1024

Thanks

Great job buddy, I've been waiting to do mine. Glad to see someone else has!

andy_meng1024

Thanks. Trust me, you won't regret.

mc320sport

i thought you had to run the same size wheels and tires on a 4matic?

FrankW

who says?

Porsche 911 never wore same size tires.

andy_meng1024

I've been running this setup for about an year and have had no issues at all.
