I had barely a finger and a half stock w/ 17's
grip is impeccable with 265's
not a fan of spacers and thinner tires

Here is my build thread for my w204 c-class.
What i've done so far:
• Stance Rims 19x8.5 front / 19x9.5 rear / 45mm offset
• Hankook Ventus Tires 225/30/19 front / 265/30/19 rear
• H&R Sport Springs
• AMG Grill
• Mercedes Black Hood Emblem
• Mercedes Black Trunk Emblem
• Clear Turn Signals
• Dual Exhaust & AMG style tips
• Rear AMG Diffuser
• AMG Rear Wing
• gorilla black locking lug nuts
• Wrapped the roof in 3M gloss black vinyl
• Chrome Delete: wrapped all the chrome in 3M gloss black vinyl (top of door handles, window trim, lower front bumper, led light surround, grill, & chrome on the trunk lid)
• rolled the rear fenders (there was a very minor rubbing issue with passengers in the back)
What is currently coming in the mail:
• Maxton design front lip/spoiler in gloss black
• e63 AMG square exhaust tips
What i'm doing next:
• paint the calipers red with G2 paint kit
THEN I'LL BE FINISHED!
Hope you enjoy. I had a tough time researching and looking through tons of pages to figure out what would work and what looked good. Thanks to everyone who has posted as inspiration for my ride! Once i've got everything completed i'll go and and take a proper photo shoot...

To the post above, yes x-pipe can go on stock exhaust. Do a search, its everywhere.
OP, I'm suprised you went for the y-style. I just ordered mine in the same look but with h-shape because y is suppossedly harder for stock mufflers (unless you are running aftermarket mufflers or your amg quad tips are also Y shaped, is this the case?) otherwise you'll just need to make sure a good exhaust shop does the job.

Front LipSplitter
To the guy who said he had a defective splitter, It looks like your front lip was put on wrong, either upside down or is installed too low (under) the front bumper lip.
It looks like I have the same splitter, but my installer did a better job.

Which bulbs did you use for your new clear side flashers? The ones the shop put into mine don't match the bi-xenon headlights color. They are just a soft white and they also don't flash with the turn signal!

No, me and you have the same splitter if you look closely. I did get the one from maxton and it didn't fit correctly. I talked to them and they said that's just how they designed it...

We'll it was rubbing. I don't think it has to do with the gap but with how much my tire sticks out. It's my offset, 9.5" rims, and the width of my tires. And when 2 people are in the back of my car it was siting right on the tire and rubbing over every little bump. It was just barely not clearing to. Either I had to roll the fenders or go with a 255 tire width. GSX97 has 8.5" rim with a much thinner tires and his wheels are tucked just a tad...

Any thoughts on if I should paint my calipers red? Does anyone happen to have pics of a white and black c-class with red calipers?
