Shot with an iPhone. I will use my camera later on.
Tires are stretched. Didn't need that much but since I'm gonna go lower , I figured I should do it anyways. I know I will get negative comments about that and I'm prepared for it. Hey, at least they aren't green
JK Kendrick. Still think your car looks good with them

Thanks guys!
Post I made are in the picture thread stickied up top.
Nankang NS2 up front and Hankook V12 in the rear. Reason why I went with different tires are because NS2 run narrow and I wanted something that would give me clearance when turning the wheel all the way. I think I could have went 225 instead of 215 in the front and cleared with these. I may have made the mistake of running 225/40 in the rear because now there's certainly a big gap between the tires and fenders. This was all basically a test fitment but I am in search of shorter springs to go lower to minimize it so it all works out in the end I guess. Specs are in the link I posted below as well as how stretched the rear are.

Loonie those BBS LMs look amazing.
Best 18" setup I've seen on a W204 so far.
After seeing your pics I'm thinking of getting H&R coilovers to drop my car a little more.
Props

Thanks coming from a guy owning a C63 estate. Love the estate AMG you got. Wished we had them in the states otherwise I would have picked up a C-Class one. H&R are great and I love them even though they don't give me the drop I desire but I'm sure you will. They are a little bit on the stiff side but not too much
So you're into the stance scene. What drop are you running atm? -40mm?
I have a set of -20mm springs and the front is quite low (due to the lip) but I would like to improve the fitment and run some slightly stretched tires.
I have 15mm spacers in the front and 10mm spacers in the back but I need narrower tires for the rear.
I'm planning this setup for the summer:
F: 8,5Jx19 ET45 +15mm spacer 215-225/35/19
R: 9,5Jx19 ET54 +10mm spacer 245/30-35/19
Here are two recent pics:

Thanks. Well the estate is nothing special here in Europe. 75% of C63s in Germany are estates.
So you're into the stance scene. What drop are you running atm? -40mm?

Regardless, loving the C63. To be honest, I don't know how low my set up has given me. I know my front isn't as low as my rear but hopefully I can change that in the near future. As much as I want to go static, I'm pulling the plug and going air.
Offsets are before the spacers correct? If so, that'll be aggressive and I can't wait to see it. Ran similar offset in the front but rubbed during turns with 18x9 +30 215/40/18. Changed it back to +45 and running 5mm spacers now. Don't know if the AMG has more room in the wheel well or not but hopefully it'll work out.

That looks ****ing awesome! Love the color. One question though. Why did you go with the larger profile? Ideal profiles would be 35 in front and 30 in the rear for 19s.
