Hey all!

So I'm deciding on getting aftermarket rims and one of the issues that come up is whether or not to lower the car. The stock height on the 2010 w204 is already decently low I feel. Anyone here have aftermarket rims and are riding on stock suspension? Pics are appreciated!!

Not only no drop with aftermarket rims, but kept the original 17" size! Great balance of handling and ride!

My previous car, but still have the wheels on the facelift.

19" Kleemann , no drop

I have 20's and I haven't dropped my car. People always tell me I need to, but I think it's fine

Massive tires...

massive? 245 in the front and 285 in the back

I think he means diameter, not tread width. 20s sound quite extreme to some of us. You must be blessed with living near very smooth roads!

Ooh lol! I live in houston and the roads are no where near smooth. Crazy cracks and potholes everywhere. I like the 20's look for sure, but as a daily driver i definitely regret it.

Ooo thats not bad at all.. Thanks for the pics!

Yeah if you stick with stock rim size it will look good. otherwise it will just make your car look like a 4x4.

Ya, I agree. The only issue with that is a lot of the nicer rims only come in a larger size. Like 19s and up. Any suggestions on nice 17s or 18s?

try the c63 AMG 18's.. should work on the W204 no?
