you'll be fine... the only c/o you need to worry about is KW cause the strut are bulkier and you'll need spacers cause it might rub. But if you want that the flush look I'd recommend getting 10mm spacers all around. I have +20 infront and +25mm in the rear. I had +20mm in the rear but the wheel was right on my fender and I didnt feel like pulling it anymore. You probably have negative camber in the rear since your dropped so low unless you have a camber kit. But once you put a camber kit on and adjust it your rears will be flush.

I'm in the process of selling my Tein's and getting H&R c/o. hopefully someone buys them soon.

shoots thanks man...i test fitted a 19x8.0 with the same offset and it barely cleared and may have rubbed when we tried on a 10mm...so were gonna try a 20 mm all around n just roll the fenders more if needed..i noticed that my stock rims were already rubbing the c/o..so i was a bit concerned with the works..ill keep u guys updated

btw..nice benz bro..whered u get the yakima roof rack?

no some other guys spacers... good quality though, haven't had a problem with them so far. If you going to do +20 in the rear you'll be needing to do more than fender rolling, be prepared to do some pulling. I pulled my rears quite a bit and the +20 still hit fender. It might work if you get really stretched tires in the rear like 225/35

Strongly suggest you don't stretch tyres. It's dangerous as it operates the tyre sidewall way out of the design parameters.

Got roof rack at Sun Ski & Sports, they had a sale when I got it. CF lip, spoiler and roof spoiler I got from Gary Suveener a sponser on here.

Just make sure you buy longer bolts to accommidate the spacers. RADUSA will probably have them.

I believe our stock lug bolt is 39.9mm shank... you'll want to get 17 hex, 45mm shank, acorn seat (since you have Work wheels)

45mm shank..if the original is 39mm it wouldnt be a 54mm for the front and a 49mm in the back? If I were to add in the mm of the spacers..

Yea my bad I didnt read you got 15mm and 10mm in the back... you'll have to get 55mm and 50mm lug bolts. They round it up.

I'm looking at these wheels and was wondering if MBW has a sponsor that sells them, or if there are other brands with similar looks for about the same price ($1000/set).

I'm looking for 19" staggered 8.5/9.5, already have tires.

Offsets should work, but 19's up front are a very tight fit and will diminish the ride quality. You could also experience fender rubbing depending on your tire size.

Depending on what brake calipers you have up front, the fronts will or will not clear. You don't specify in your sig if you are a sport equiped car or not. Sports have bigger front calipers. You may clear with a 32ET depending on rim design/backspacing.

The rears will be a bit tight inward as well. 35mm would be better.

Check out the "stickies" on the front page. There's a million page thread on wheels/offsets.

Good Luck on your wheel search
