I wouldn't mind replacing the front grills with something like a chrome mesh style insert.... I think it would break up the black a bit and make it look a bit more sporty at the front......
So it's OK for you to mod your car to look like an amg, but if we put the badge on, we're not cool?
F@@k it. We don't need your respect nor approval. We mod our cars the way we want it, just like you do it the way you want it. Nobody mods to be original. If some people like it, great. If some don't, fine too. Even a president pisses off the other half of the country. And if someone screams we're being fake, then tries to remember that the next time you're chasing a girl with big *****. You might discover that sometimes,
even fake turns you on.
I still don't like it. You know why you put the fake badging on, and they are your reasons. Enjoy your car and enjoy other fake things in life if that turns your crank
Current setup is 15mm rear, 12mm front - bolts came with the spacers, lowered links about 25mm, 40mm lowered at high speeds on sport+. Next mod will trading it in for a c450 coupe

was hard to get real definitive answers on exact offsets and things that we need for our w205's due to the big brakes and clearance etc.
after talking to a few engineer and the help of rim/tire shop that always help me (ATC) we finally got the right fit and tires in.. apparently you cant rely solely on offsets as each rim company has different back plate spacing.
sorry for the dirty pictures. i was excited to share the information as it may help you all and the weather has sucked raining on and off. ill get clean shots soon
(ALSO: my stock staggered 19" AMG factory black rims multispoke rims and pirelli runflat tires are for sale. only about 200 miles on the tires, they are flawless and perfect condition)
here are my specs:
suspension: 1.2" H&R drop front and back (very easy install i have a write up on the forums if you want help with that)
Rims: 20" savini bm-12 rims staggered (20x8.5 and 20x10)
Offsets: Front ET45 Rear ET47 (originally ordered 50mm as they said that they would fit but engineers said we needed 47mm and 50 wouldn't work, i found this odd because most you on the forum have 52 or 55mm ET rears. but the back spacing i guess was the changing factor)
Tires: nitto555 235/35/20 and 275/30/20
(i went with these tires because most shops wont run the 285/25/20. its too thin and "wont support the weight of the car properly". just what i was told so i went a little thicker and couldnt be happier)

very nice, can you post a horizontal pic - I have same H&R springs and would like to see the wheel gap and fitment. also is yours 4matic?
also no spacers needed for flush fit? tx

Thanks. Black lugs are in order should be in Monday ����
Good to see you here bro!! From IG to mbworld!! Lol nice wheels!!! I saw your 275 not stretching on 10 rear. I hope with my offset theres no issue if i upgrade to 30 series and stay with 285 wide

Hell ya! They aren't stretching at all it's a perfect fit. The 285 is wide yours looks beast!! 😍😍
Chrome black out next and I'm thinking a color caliper to pop. Porsche lime green or yellow.
Your car looks amazing with the black out package, and I agree about doing the brake calipers...that was the first mod we did with our C class, but unfortunately the rear calipers are not really much to look at, so I would caution doing the Calipers in a bright finish, but as a suggestion I would recommend maybe doing the calipers in a Gloss black, and then maybe do the Mercedes-Benz decal on the front caliper in a bright Green, yellow, or Orange.
Just suggesting this because the rear calipers are nothing really to look at, and if you end up doing the whole caliper...those rears might really pop behind the black wheels and you probably won't end up liking that look.
Just something to think about. Not sure if you already have someone to do the job, but if not we can accommodate getting them done for you.

yes, it's the DOT's way of pissing everyone equally.
That's a really nice slick finish to bring out shine and reflections.
