edit: sorry, just found your pictures. nevermind

Hey OCD, did ever take any pics of your powerwheels 17" installed? Did you go staggered or non, and what size tires you running?

804 style

Will the 804 style fit a 2010 c300? I currently run a staggered 17inch setup that came stock. I'm looking to upgrade to the 18 inch but not staggered as I would like to rotate my tires the traditional way. Also, the prices quoted, are they for 4 rims or one?

What would be the most effective tire size set up if going for square set up 18x 8.5 all 4 corners with the 818 45s?

I would go with 235/40/18 all around. Pretty common size, easy to find, and they fit.

Your car on pages 1 and 2 looks good. Is this with Super Sports that have completely settled?

I can't seem to decide between Sports and Super Sports.

Yes, they're Super Sports but I don't remember how long I'v had them at that point. I don't think the ride height has changed much since then though. If I had to do it again, I would've kept the stock spring pads on the back. I'm not rubbing or anything, but I think the car looks better with a slight rake.

That's a relief as 255/35/18s cost a fortune

I'm currently running stock 17's 225/45/17 front & 245/40-17, but I'm going to sell everything and upgrade to Continental DWS 17's hoping I can fit 235/50-17 tires anyone went above stock 225/45-17 without any modifications?

Before you commit to DWS, I strongly suggest you research Michelin Pilot Sport AS3. From Tire Rack to the new Consumer Reports, this new model tire is ranking #1.

But the Michelin is also about $45 more per tire for the same size and has a lower thread wear rating (500 for the Michelin and 540 for the DWS). I think that's why the DWS is so widely loved, because it's priced very competitively and it's and absolutely great tire.

Price and durability are of relative importance. DWS has been leapfrogged by the new AS3 in overall performance. If one prioritizes a moderate economic difference over performance, DWS is still a very good tire, but "great" has just been redefined. I put DWS on my daugher's Accord and she is very happy.

Hi sg300,

The 804s are currently in stock in black with polished lip, we are out of the silver ones.
The price listed is for a set of 4.

Sunster, were you interested in all season or winter tires?

Sportstick, thank you very much for everything

Thank you,

Hi sg300,

Any wheel we carry is dependent of factory availability, we have been out of those for a few months now but they usually become available around this time of the year. I anticipate to have them back in stock in the next 6-8 weeks.
Hope the timing will work for you.

Regards

At Euroclassics on Hillsborough they have a C63 on Super Sports if you wanted to look at it closer

255/35/18 is the stock size I believe so I think you'll be fine. I'm fine with 245/40/18s with supersports and 5mm pads (taller tire but not as wide) and I never rub.

Hey Vipsa what setup do you have on your ride for both front and rears and what rim size and offset do you have?

Why'd you decide to stagger your tires?

Hi folks,
Apologies for the delay, it looks like we have been receiving notifications on this thread. I am sorry I missed all the questions.
These are currently out of stock but we will be getting some more in over the next few weeks. The wheels are TPMS compatible.

Thanks
