I believe they came off a c230

FrankW

cool

in any case they don't clear the caliper you can contact BBS USA and ask them for the 5mm PFS which is a spacer kit with bolts.

hope the seller give you the bolts too. they should have the BBS-RAD bolts.

Giorgiojustini

Thanks for the info. Seller did not provide any bolts. Can I use stock bolts if no spacer is needed?

Glocker

Thanks for chiming in Frank. Good deal it's not the BBS LMs then. That's a dam steal! BBS RSGT

FrankW

you can't use stock bolts. the bolts needed are much shorter. I would suggest contact BBS for the bolts then. or search for RAD bolts.

i have the normal length RAD bolts for my RE set. I'll measure it and let you know the length.

Giorgiojustini

Your one hell of a dude, thanks!

Hey giorgiojustini where did u find such a great deal on those bbs??? and do the linea corse LM even come in a mercedes application???

Giorgiojustini

I found them on craigslist. Im not sure about the linea corse LM's.

Linea Corse Lemans comes in the MB application. I actually have a brand new set that I'm thinking about selling 19x8.5 all around with 35 offset.

225/45/R17 + 245/40/R17 Vs 225/35/R19 + 245/30/R19

I think 17 has a smoother ride and more cornering handling but 19 looks hotter and sits lower with eibach springs, any opinions ? and shall i use 255 instead of 245 on the 19 ?

I am planning on upgrading my stock 17" 03' C32 wheels to 18" (would be the C55 stock wheels(most likely) or CLK 500 18" Style III's). I want to lower it with these Vogtland Springs: http://tinyurl.com/p3xej6 . As for shocks and struts I want to upgrade to Bilstein Sport Shocks/Struts - http://tinyurl.com/pm5av6 and http://tinyurl.com/pfa6kn

Any extra parts I need to get? Fitment issues? Can I install springs and shocks/struts with the stock 17" wheels while I hunt for wheels? Thanks in advance!

Well, finally after researching which wheels to go with , i got shot down Lorenzos WL18 are discontinued and 4 wheel stores that were carrying them, dont have any pieces left for me to even put a set together. Anyway , over the weekend i found a local used set of similar looking wheels, only problem is , they are 10" wide in the back with 45ET , i hope 5mm spacer will fix the problem , becasue without it the wheel is touching inner side of the wheel well. Quick question Benz peeps, the seller states that these are MB custom made, what vehicle were they made for?

And ofcourse , they will be fixed up powder coated black, including lips

ChokuDorian

wow. i literally have another tab open right now deciding to buy the wl18 or not...i guess that a not.

starting post... hes running a fat tire too. but didnt give offset.

i would think 5-10mm would fix you up.(if there is an issue at all) but then you will be about 5-10 mm further out than a 9.5+35

ChokuDorian

bigger sidewall will always have better ride.

what widths and offsets? how low are you, do you have room to run 255? the more you stagger your tire size the more your car will want to understeer, generally. idk of any reason you should switch from 245-255...unless you just want to

did you use same brand/model tires on 17's and 19's?

FrankW

been there done that.

19x8.5 et28 and 19x10 et35. Carlsson 1/16 BE. one you posted are replicas of the 1/16.



about the same as my LM 19x9.5 et27 rear.



request sent to have this merged with the wheel thread.

NegroC230

ohh ****..those are carlsson replicas then ...nice

advans

^ no.... not really, the reps doesnt have that CARLSSON written all over, which is the hottest part OF the wheels

FrankW

some reps used to have letters too, but they spell out "CARLLSON"...

I rather have reps with no letters and run the MB caps then reps with idiotic letters "i.e. AMC, Carllson...

hahaha wtf? I would laugh my *** off if I saw someone with Carllson wheels. I would literally point and laugh.

Save yourself the humiliation and stick with the stock wheels lool

LightDragon

on 17 its the amg 5 star , 19 i vote for bremmas tsw

TemjinX2

i say get 19's, the c200 is already slow so might as well look good.
