*EDIT*
mlandingin177, you have any pictures of your rear wheel's lip? Thanks.

Mlandingin177 what springs are you running and are your fenders rolled?

mlandingin177

Thanks LOON.... Ill get better pics of the rear for ya.

I'm running H&R Super Sports and my fenders are not rolled. I slightly rub on the rear with big dips.

I'm wondering if I just run the H&R sport will I notice a different, I just don't want to rub when I have a full back seat

Matt_Eurojerks

Is it possible to get a pic of the "flushness" of your setup with the fenders. I am thinking about doing ET40 on a 8.5 all around.

Nice looking wheels. Kinda look like my old Konigs I had on my accord back in the day.

Question Zero,I've done research on Tommy @Musicbox and I've seen nothing but good feedback on him but all the suspension work I've seen so far is on Lexus, do you know if he has worked on a 2012 C Class Sprt yet? Thanks

ZeroSeVen

I don't see why not. When I went there before he installing coilovers or springs on Lexus IS and BMW 3 series.

Make sure you call him up first because he is usually busy throughout the week. You can also schedule an appointment on weekends. I have heard nothing but good reviews about this guy. I've only been in his shop once for a HID install. Labor cost is pretty reasonable too.

Hello everyone!
I'm just new here and a good reason for that is that I just bought my 1st Mercedes :- )

I'm thinking of installing new wheels on my '10 C-350 RWD. Suspension is presently stock but thinking of lowering slightly with H&R coil springs.

Anyone thinks this would not be a good set-up?

Front 19X8.5 - 235/35/19 Hankook V12
Rear 19X9.5 - 275/35/19 Hankook V12

What offset would anyone recomand to go with this set-up (F&R) and any other concerns? Anyone see a problem with this set-up?

Thanks a million!

[quote=Frnakito71;5195465]You guys are such worry warts, there is no danger with running a 215 on our cars. None of you do it because its not "recommended" by MB. Their ratings are super conservative. I've been running the same size for years in my Audi's at the strip, track, autocross and long trips and never a single problem. Every other euro tuner scene is running way more stretch than that and no problems unless you expose too much of the bead and drive like a fool. Load rating!? BLAH!

wheels are under now,
10x20 et44 245/30
8,5x20 et38 215/30

it rubs in the back when loaded

That's a lot of poke! To avoid rubbing you'd need a much higher offset (53 or 55?) in the rear.

...and maybe a degree or two of negative camber.

hwpaints

how do you do that
that placed the top off the wheels to the inside when loaded, or am i wrong

Looks fantastic. So I guess you resolved the tpms issue. These the reps you were talking about? Almost looked real with the red caps on.
