Hey guys, finally took the 15 sec's it takes to snap a few shots of my new additions...

Still had my 18" 07 E350 rims and threw them on.

Sorry for the condition of my car, will take pics when it's clean and I have installed the proper grille and spoiler!

Right on, you have to like stock wheels! Nice setup.

What size are those? 17 or 18? Did you have any problems with offsets?

wow.. I like the look

AMGTTV8

thanks a lot! i was pretty surprised with the outcome myself...

18's...

had some rub issues when i first put them on...245's all the way around did not working going over dips..

bought 235's for the front and don't seem to have too many issues anymore...if i had bought a 35 instead of 40 it would be fine, but the only time it rubs now on the front is when i hit a HUGE dip at a good clip of speed

once the front tires wear down a bit im positive there will no longer be an issue - it's negligible at the moment in any event.

i am really surprised, however, at how much more stable the car is in the turns now...must be a combo of increased load rating, rim diameter, and tire width

AMGTTV8

oh, and offest was only off by 2mm's so no problem there

looks like the s-class in some angle because of the wheel. lol

be careful if you are using your stock m12 bolts on the W211's m14 size lug holes. the bolts might not provide the proper contact you needed to secure the wheel.

AMGTTV8

appreciate the concern! no worries though, had a couple of our techs at the store throw them on to make sure there were no complications etc...

all is good in the realm of tuning - for now... ( i think i just tempted fate, and she's going to bite me in the *** )

looks very nice.....good setup....

The W204 has M14 bolts as well, actually almost every new Merc from now on use the same bolts.

And its not the thread of the bolt that is securing the wheel, its the bolts spherical head that is important.

FrankW

if they're all m14 bolts then it's fine and yes, I was referring to the head of the bolt.
