Well i had them dialed in, 225/30/19S 265/35/19 and i have ran 245 as well as 255 but my last set of tires were at 265. I also had 15mm spacers all around rolled and pulled fenders. Let me know soon! pm me for pricing.

Camber will automatically eat through your tires, well atleast it does through mine. One of the things i did to correct that was adjusting my toe which was significantly improving. Also, consider the way that you drive. I drive more lets say "considerate" now. The camber is going to look good but at the price of your tires. Id say get an alignment and address your problem with the tech/mechanic to try and get it dialed in to where you can settle in between oem fitment and cambered. its entirely up to you.
too much TOE in/out is what kills tires, camber just makes them wear unevenly, ie. inside wears more first. anything more than 1/4" is going to eat at them.
Glad you got it sorted though!
Any idea when you're going to be selling your old set of wheels?

I was ready to pounce on the "camber will eat your tires," but you hit it on the head right after with toe. The reason "camber" often eats tires is when you dial it in, you're actually also adjusting the toe settings too; unless you have the shop do everything.

I like your new wheels, but the ones in your sig are literally the reason I started thinking about modding my car!

Really? interesting lol you see i work at a benz dealer and every over car that strolls in either has the brabus VI's or the Euro 63s which are the ones in my sig. I mean dont get me wrong it was hard letting go of those rims but i had an itch for concave.

TRUE! i wanted something different, plus black on black was something i HAD to do haha the only bad thing was the chips on a black lip and the brake dust.

I really wants these cv3's for my c230! The ones I was looking at said offsets 30/36. Where did you get your wheels from? These looks so good I just NEED to have them.

I got them from California wheels in the Bay Area. They're great wheels, I don't regret getting them and they fit the 203 perfect.

I live in alaska so I gotta deal with ordering from dealer. Do you think the 30/36 offsets would fit fine on my car? Did you have to mod anything? In just so in love with these wheels.
