Arctic204

Hey guys,

I'm working on a fitment for the wife's car. Just ordered up the Springs and once those come in i'll get these on here to finalize a good wheel fitment.

I might end up selling these and getting a different set of wheels in a wider width since i now know it can be done.

Ideally i'll be doing a 19x9 and 10.0 setup with 225/35/19 and 235/35/19.

Currently displaying

AME Shallen AX (3D Chrome), Custom ordered from www.autornd.com for the Mercedes. Typically these wheels don't come in 5x112 but apparently they had some left over stock on a run they did a year or so ago. I got these at a great value and couldn't pass em up.

I'll be heading over to www.autoinnovations.com, our local premiere alignment shop for lowered vehicles, to determine what degree of camber etc... can be acheived.

This wheel has to have one of the cleanest Chrome plating I've ever seen. I mean no pitting, no plastic looking BS like a lot of cheap wheels out there.

Here's the photos: (OFFSETS ARE A SECRET RIGHT NOW)..... so sorry....

Nice! Are you on VSC also? I think I've seen the SC over there...

will 20x9 & 20x10 fit on w204?

Arctic204

Yes it can fit but the tire diameters will be tough to match. Not to mention the added weight of the wheels.

Our tire tire diameters should be such:

225/40/18, 255/35/18
225/35/19, 255/30/19
225/30/19, 255/25/20

That's if you go with a standard fitment in regards to wheel width and offset. Problem is the 255/25/20 might be a tough tire diameter to find. So most people inevitably get something that is larger than stock. Probably a 245/30/20.

I personally like to keep consistent tire diameters to the factory parameters for braking and gearing purposes.

In the next couple weeks i'll be working to determine to what degree our camber is affected when using H&R Springs, the lowest ones. I feel this will help the community determine where they fall into this "standard vs aggressive" spectrum.

Sadly our vehicles come in a much higher offset than most mb's in the past, but i hope to dispell the myth and give us some hope. woot woot!!!!!!

I posted the SC up on CL once, but not to active over there. Thanks guys...

i'll keep you posted on the progress.

I have the 18" AMG option on my W204, and I love them. I would really like to put rear spacers on though to get the stance a little wider. How much further out can I place them without rubbing? I have seen 3mm, 5mm and 8mm spacers, but it seems only the 3mm will not push the wheels out too far. It's almost not worth it for only 3mm per side. I will also be installing KW comforts or some similar coilovers when available.

Thanks.

Nice.

I love VIP styled cars.

Arctic204

So not sure if I mentioned but

Front tire:
225/35/19 on 8.5"

Rear tire:
235/35/19 on 9.5"

I'm gonna take one of the 225's and stretch that on the rear and take some more pics to see how much difference it makes.

I'll post up this weekend if I got time to do it.

Very nice man

looks sweet!!.. now add a full wald kit then your straight VIP!

aowhaus

Looking sharp!
The tires really stick out from the fenders.
I'm worried about going over bumps, hard turns and hard braking.

I have a set of 18x8.5" wheels with an offset of 40 from my last car and it is pretty much flush with the top of the wheel arch opening and I'm worried about the same issues.

Keep us posted on how it goes.

PM me if you plan to sell those stock AMGs.

bunta

so thats how they look on a w204! nice i have them too

good fitment!

did you roll or shave the fenders?

jbondox

Damn that looks hideous, should of kept it a secret.

evanswan

r you going to sale your Stock wheels. What size 18" i hope. P.M. me if you would like to sale them.

TuneTime

im with jbondox....

wheels should not stick out of the fenders.... unless your in a pick up truck... Thats a mercedes dude! You should know that, thats what you do for a living...



I want to be there when you drop it an inch and put 2 people in the back seat..... Looks like theres going to be a rubbing issue

vcruiser

looks like you will have all kinds of rubbing issues

do what you like man, I dont think there is a right and wrong way to mod a car.

Sure I have a style and there are some mods I definately do not like, and cant understand. I would not put 13" wire wheels on my car and put hydrolics on it, nor would I put 30" wheels on a box chev. but dare to be different, I wont knock anyone for their style, its their style not mine. hell if you got the funds, its your car and your money, and should be for your satisfaction. Plus if all cars looked like mine wouldnt that take the point out of modding my car? also that would get pretty boring

I personally dont mind the VIP style i think it looks good, maybe not as practical for daily use, but then again in my eyes no car with any low profile tire would be practical for any girl hahaha (no offense ladies referring to my mother, sister, and gf), but that is just me.

Looks good I think..good pics what kind of wheels are those? i am looking for something like that but i want the face silver and lip to be chrome, and probably loooking for like a 20" wheel 21" would be perfect but doubt it comes in it

iolithblue

it wouldn't take 2 poeple, just the driver.....

benggolf

I was just about to say that.

Hey TuneTime. whats the tire specs on the pic you have up. thats the slight stretch im looking for my w204. i want to run 19's but dont know what tire specs would give me a very slight stretch

Normandie4life

mhad2480
