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

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

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!

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.....

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

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.

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.

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

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.
