Question.. how did you cover the holes in the front apron? did you just paint the black screw with white paint or some kind of special screw. Thanks

2016 C450 break AMG Sport
Hello, i have a question.
I would like to order Vossen CVT wheels for my C450 break. I prefer 19", but i'm thinking about taking 8,5 all around. I see you have 10" in the rear. My question is what size of tyres did you choose for these wheels?

Can you post a picture of your red calipers please! Really want to do this to the C450 but dont want to pull the trigger until i see what others have done! Did you get the whole caliper painted or did you manage to leave the mercedes-benz logo showing/lasered? Sickk set up nonetheless!

I tried to order the Vossen VFS-2's for my C450, however, I was told that Vossen is currently doing test fitting as the current 19" Vossen VFS-2's wont fit over the brakes. I imagine the same issue presents for the CVT's.

so frustrating trying to find out what the max width/offset we can do on these cars, no one has done anything yet

I have the C400 and the brakes didnt clear the 19 VFS-2's. I used a 5mm spacer so they didnt hit the calliper. I am running a 19x8.5 in the front.

Like yourselves, I was pretty much the first person to play around with it, comes with the territory when something is new i guess.

If someone in Mississauga Ontario wants to try my 19's and spacers in the spring, hit me up!

Hey! This wheel setup looks so good. I was wondering what tire size you were running?

It came out well.

I'm curious. Did Vossen not have the right offset or did these comes from another car?

I've heard the airmatic suspension is short lived. True?
