So Im noticing that my car is starting to drop more so I guess it was about giving it time to settle and I just got C63 wheels today that came with tires and I put the front AMG wheel from the outside of the stock wheel to compare it and see how it will look, and you can see that the car has actually drop cause the tire is above the fender compare to how it looks with the stock wheels and the gap but I guess Im gonna wait and see how it's actually going to look when I put them on and Im also going to compare it to my friend's stock C63 car.

just to add $.02 cause I can be annoying like that...
Proper measurement for ride height should be from the center of the Hub (center of the wheel) to the fender, NOT from the ground.
(Due to the fact that you Probably will not find exactly even pavement or concrete)... just sayin...

It doesn't matter as much here, where we are all dealing with low-profile tires, with less height flux due to air pressure OR uneven surface.
but as a general rule:
A more accurate measurement is from the Hub to the fender lip...
just sayin...

we're all running different size tires/wheels, where a hub/fender measurement will NOT differ...
(I said I can be annoying)...

This I totally agree with but not left/right tire measurements on the same car. Slope still won't matter because spring will be compressed on one side.
