SWEET!!!

Angel02

does anyone have a picture of their car lowered on eibachs or h&r with 19" rims and a lip in the front? i have searched day and night and yet to find a pic. i want to know which springs to go with, but i have a cf FRP sports lip on mine and it is difficult for me imagine a lip on a picture to see how low i would be.. i dont want to be too low( i already scrape driveway), buyt i want my gap covered. People with the sport suspension that have eibachs looks like they're at my current height because i upgraded my suspension to that of the AMG's

20x8.5 ET +32 F / 20x10 ET +42 on Toyos probably running 275/30. Anyone have that setup or know if it will clear? Trying to go TIRE flush on coils

dewydang

With that setup, I think you will poke out more, rather then be FLUSH. im running 18x9.5 +45 rear and im pretty flush.

Thanks for the link

jimmythegreek

you wont clear up front OR in back. 275/30/19 at stock ride height slightly rubs on 19x10 w a +45mm offset. U wont clear w that offset even at 255/25/20. and up front w a good drop u need at least +40mm w a 8.5 in 20s and should be 30 profile w 20s

bringtherain

so basically i have like less than 5 rims to choose from unless i go forged.. this sucks lol

In 20s its hard to find wheels w high offsets and a 10" rear. I have a set of 19s in 8.5 and 10 rears that clear but barely, they are +40 up front and +45 out back but I have to run slight stretch on the tires and Im barely dropped. If your dead set on 20s look at vossens, and the euro63s clear too, they come in 20s. I have a set of euros in 19s and they are one of my favs at the moment, I got them on now actually. Carlssons also have high offset, the 1/16s I have clear w a drop and high offset. I will tell u that honestly, the 10 rears arent much bigger than the 9.5s, If I mount my 275s on the 9.5s they arent noticably wider than the 265s, the offset of the wheel makes them look wide. My car looks superwide w the 10s when I run them mostly because of the bigfin diffuser and the rocket ship exhaust tips hanging out the back. My brabus's are +38mm in back 9.5 and look wider than the 10s because they stick out of the fenders a little, and they are 265 too, its mostly the rim poke that widens the look of the car, and when dropped its even more so. We have less than 1/4" fender lips on our w204s, not even worth rolling the fenders on these cars. Its the stupid offset that makes our lives difficult, I ran 4.5" rear lips on my CLK and I got 3" now on the C and thats biggest I can go, so stupid. The newer E class has same offsets, they suck too, but they can run 10.5 rears even an 11" I saw somewhere posted, suxxxxxxx

Hey guys,

Will this setup work out well on a W204 dropped on H&R Super Sport springs?

Front Wheels: 19x8.5 ET45 245/35/19 tires

Rear Wheels: 19.9.5 ET45 265/30/19 tires


TIA!

jimmythegreek

your cutting it close but should clear. Up front 45 is plenty, but out back its really close. I would go w 235 up front, 245 is really fat compared to the 265 rear, 3-4 sizes is actually equal in sidewall look. If you really wanna play it safe go 225 front and 255 rear, u will definitely clear. Just remember diff tires are different "fatness" so a 265 in one size may run like a 275 and in another like a 255. For example falken and sumitomo run skinny, I like both brands myself and are considered skinny tires.....

Black.E

Thanks a lot Jimmy. I'll look into those tire sizes, better to be safe and have them clear 100% than take the chance. I'll probably end up getting Falken's or Toyo's...

Thanks again

jimmythegreek

Hey black E I just noticed u have an E class listed in ur signature. Is this for a C or E class? if its for an E and I beleive stock offset is 35 on those the setup u posted is fine. 235/265 is perfect for an E on 8.5 and 9.5

Black.E

I was referring to a C, lol.

Thanks again!

Was wondering if you guys know if this offset will work with h&r super sports? Also would ask for your opinions?

HRE 891R: 18x8 +37 & 18x9 +42
Or
Work VS-XX: 18x8 +38 & 18x9 +45

Any input would greatly be appreciated.

Matt_Eurojerks

Those are in the sweet spot of being good looking. I would put those on my car.

Did somebody say VS-XX? Here's what they look like with H&R super sports:



Specs are 18x8.5 +45, Hankook v12 225/40s all around. No rubbing at all. You'll be fine with the specs that you provided for the VS-XXs, assuming you run 225/40 tires front & back. I think you could go as wide as 255/35 on the back but don't quote me on that.

dudeitsmattx

im on h&r super sports with 20x8.5 et +42 front and 20x10 et +48 rear. rear tire is a 275/30/20. i had to remove the rear fender carpets and roll the rear finders a little. fits nice and flush. no rubbing

jimmythegreek

either will work w supersports, u should run 205 or 215 40/18 up front and 235 or 245 35/18 out back. U are cutting it close w that offset up front, out back u will be OK. Anything bigger than 215 up front will chance rubbing on turns when bottomed according to my mathematics. 3 sizes matches up pretty well F to R so 215 F should look nice w 245 R hence the #s

Matt E.....that calculator is awesome. Helped out a lot.

Matt_Eurojerks

Cool, glad to help.

Stevedotmil

This needs to be a sticky. Anyone else think so?

Also here's what I'm trying to do....Let me know if this will work or if someone has pics.

19 x 8.5 ET 35
19 x 9.5 ET 42

TSW Nurburgring

Conti DW
235/35/19
265/30/19 or 275/30/19

I will order spacers if I have to. I'm going to get new TPMS sensors from TireRack too. anyone have experience with ordering them? Stock Sport height.

eliteskill

Looking at ordering Works VSXX Chrome for 2010 W204 C200 CGI

Front: 18 x 8.5 with 235 tyre
Rear: 18 x 9.5 with 255 tyre

What would be the optimum offset required?
