Hey frank whats your offset for the fronts? I'm trying to see whats going to be the best offset to have that flushed look like what you have. Also did you roll and pull your rear fenders? Im thinking of getting 19x8.5 +25 and 19x10 +30 ( i know i'll have to roll and pull the rear fender)

my fenders are rolled and inside shaved clean and camber dialed to negative to avoid rubbing.

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!

slk wheels on c230
i have 2005 c230 sport sedan, it has the stock big (bigger) calipers.
does anyone here know if these wheels will fit without spacers?

i'm concerned about the front being 37 offset. i think the rears will do just fine.
thanks in advance

no pictures. just look at where the fender meets the rear bumper when you have the wheel off. you can easily figure it out. whatever that's protruding out and doesn't affect holding the bumper = cut it off.

can you clarify why 10j+30 wont work? because of rubbing on fender or inner wheel well/suspension?
if you are running +27 with negative camber than +30 with 0* should be somewhere pretty close to ****...i would think.
im deciding what size wheels i want to cram into my wheel wells is why im interested.
thanks.

That's not really what I asked. Rofl, Long time since I have seen those img's.
I figured out why I was confused. Mixed up your other rims from earlier post. The 10j's. Thought you were saying those were +27 but +30 wouldn't work.
Looks like you were running a 265/40 on the 10j's? Hard to tell on iPhone.

Are these decent wheels or are they too heavy and/or bend easily?

19" will look good.
