W204
If any of you remember, I was redoing my LMs reverse mounted (wheel face mounted through the back) Reverse mounting also changes the offset by 15mm. Found a lot of corrosion behind where the face was sitting on so I had the lips redone as well as weld one of them which had a small hole like crater. Just picked them up today and installed gold bolts plus red bbs caps. Sending the fronts back tomorrow to shave off 3mm off the hub.
Here's the wheels before:
FRONT: 18x9 +42
REAR: 18x10 +50
FRONT BEFORE
FRONT AFTER
REAR BEFORE
REAR AFTER
FINAL PRODUCT
FRONT: 18x9 +27 (going to shave 3mm off hub to make it +30)
REAR: 18x10 +35 (might be able to fit 3-5mm spacers to make it +30mm-32mm)

loonie wheels is looking good. What i wanna know is what tires are u gonna run on those wheels? I could barely clear on my old 2008C350 w 18x9.5 +35mm running falken 452s at 245/35/18 out back, on supersports. Ur going w 18x10 which is like 4mm wider on BOTH sides of wheel and your slammed out I remember? I guess ur gonna try a 225 or 235 w crazy stretch? ur F-in sick bro, hope it works for you, I love it man. Props for doing your thing man
I just re-read your fronts and your at 9" w a +27 trying to do +30? I dont see how u will clear front or back, but hell it may work. People told me in 2008 I was crazy runnin +35mm staggered on a W204 and I did it and I cleared w a creditcard space, and dropped it and cleared too, so go for it man!

Yes you can run fine with that whole setup, however your front 2 rims will be a little bit sunk. The correct offset you need is around 45~. You can get a 5mm spacer if you want fix that.

The 18s I bought I got ripped off, one had a crack that was covered with tons of break dust and I didnt catch it =(
Looking at these now.. I ran into a set of 5x114.3 19" Volk TE37s i might wanna run with wobble bolts.
19x8.5 +43 235/35/19
19x9.5 +43 265/30/19
lowering on H&R sports springs. advice?

Sad to hear elite. As for the wheels, if you are just on sports and not super sports then you should be able to clear with no rubbing in the back since they don't give you a big significant drop. If it were to to rub but I don't think it will then going with 255 should clear. I think you are good with those tire sizes though. TE37? I say doooo eeeet

^ yeah.. Its my fault for not inspecting the wheels better.
Only thing about the TE37 is the concaveness on the 8.5 is nothing at all. 9.5 a little bit =(. I really wanted my BBS to work tho. The TE37 design might not look right on a W204 (might not flow with the car). Ill ponder on it while photoshopping. I have to get them redrilled or use wobble bolts as well.
