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.
I definitely wanna see your car with air!
Send me the link when you'll post some pics/vids.


As for the offsets - they are before the spacers. My setup will be flush with the fenders and thats what I was going for. Now I need to "hide" the tires to avoid rubbing if I go any lower.

that's why I went with the 225/40 and 255/35 set up, because it fills the wheel wells with tire making it look lower.

supersports don't work because H&R said so hahaha. Who's gonna try it?

Sure thing. Actually waiting for a local shop who specializes in Mercedes suspension here who is working on a C-Coupe project. They asked me to take a look once they are all done so hopefully by summer or mid-summer I'll get my set up together.

Those offsets on your car is going to look great. Looking forward to the progress.

A member here has already confirmed that it does work on a 4Matic.

That's steel gray right, the car? And is there a light tint on the windows?

Great looking wheels! Do you have any close up pics of the wheels? I have been debating over a few sets of wheels for my w204 and these are one just the silver finish but black looks mean . Just curious how much the setup cost you total?

I'm a Stance Dealer so I get them Cheaper , but up here in Canada they are about $450-500ea depending on shop. The Invo set-up I have would retail for about $3000CAD
States side i'd guess around $2500USD

Has anybody tried to run a low 30 offset yet, I know the Subaru crowd has a high factory offset as well. But several run low 30 offsets with very min modifications to the wheel well.

97 S600 coupe/gf 16 C300 Lux. Former: 08 GL450, 83 300D, 97 C230, 08 c300 luxury, 92 500SL, 93 400E
I'm not looking for 20s or even 18s, nor anything super aggressive. What I AM looking for on my stock c300 Lux, Steel Grey, ideally, would be some lightweight 17" OEM size wheels, in a super light weight, color-matched or close to the paint. I suppose a darker grey would be ok. Any ideas? I saw some OZs that were 16.2lbs, but I really don't care for the styling. I saw a Rial that looks very OEM, but 24lbs.

On second thought, 18x8s with the same or slightly lower weight (these appear to be 22lbs each - what are stockers, 24-25?), which would be a nice improvement. What do you know about them?

Momo Revenge, anthracite.

No 17" wheel will look good on a W204 so either buy 18"/19" or leave your stock wheels

Your personal opinion, perhaps, but nothing more than that. Mine to the contrary is reflected with these 17"s as I see no benefit to the loss of ride comfort, acceleration, braking, and fuel economy by having a heavier unsprung rotating mass for a visually almost invisible difference.
