Quote: 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.
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.

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.

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.
