hey so I have an 05 C230 kompressor and I am looking to get the Tein SS suspension and than do a 18x8.5 for front and 18x10 in the rear. need help trying to figure out what tires to get for it and finding pics to compare them. I was looking into the CCW LM20 but trying to get other ideas if yall could help me out that would be awesome

I'm gonna run 18x9 225/40 front and 18x10 235/40 rear on my CCW classics. Good stretch but still enough sidewall for comfort.

Spaded311

I called ccw the other day and he told me that there would be ride issues trying to put those on my car and advised me to go with the lm20's but if I can get the classics on there I'm be so stoked

I ordered mine at the beginning of the month. Gave them all the specs that I wanted. John called backed and made sure that's what I wanted and he said I'm gonna have to stretch and do negative camber to make it fit but I already have my fenders pulled and rolled and stretching my tires. I like to defy the odds lol.

I run 225/40-18 on 8.5" on my Vw, it's comfy and still just a tad stretched, I think you'll really like the look of what you have planned.

Spaded311

what finish did you get?

phister

I just did fully polished. Was gonna do candy teal or metallic purple that's on the R34 skylines but kept it simple. Got the race versions as well because I like cadium rivets. Was gonna do the limited neo chrome rivets but they a special order and takes 6-8 weeks for them and its like an extra 375 for them. It takes about a month for them to be made.

Spaded311

damn that would have been nasty and those rivets would have stood out really hard and look great on your car since its white but since im basically murdering mine out but still keeping it simple since all ive done was the Brabus flat emblem and the black grill and 5% window tint and front window strip. im not intot the whole blacking the tails or headlights either. i am trying to do the HIDs for high and low and my fogs. i was thinking of 8k for lows and 6k for the brights and 3k fogs

You can always look for the OEM bix headlights or do a bix retrofit like some do. I still haven't gotten to my retrofit. I'm putting fx-r projectors in my headlights. Just make sure when doing the hids to get the error cancellors

Spaded311

lol pretty thats the portable colonic. is that a super doucher lol what are you trying to say lol

Spaded311

or run the 55w ballist right? and i wont have to get the error cancelers. will i really have to run 6 ballists

phister

Yup unless you go for bixenon headlights.

C230 Sport Coup

My sense of humor gets away from me at times.
LOL

Spaded311

no i thought it was funny, i havent found the bixenon ones anywhere. where can i get those?

phister

EBay has the depos with bixenons. OEM will be harder to find.

Spaded311

i just dont want some cheap garbage on this car, but i sure the hell dont want to have to hide 6 different ballists even if they are the slims lol

phister

A lot of peeps here run depo projectors. Some just change the projectors in them to have a better cutoff, output, and bix.

theunderlord

You'll be just fine with 35w ballasts.

SkankZ

phister what were your specs on the ccw's? i've always wanted them but didn't know what specs i should go with. since i'm on h&r coils i wanted the front nicely tucked in so i can slam it all the way.

suggestions?
