Heres how it turned out, ET40 rears and lowered
Hi Guys,
As some of you know I'we had some issues. I firstly got totally wrong wheels, sent them back. And then got the right wheels but ET40 at the rear.
I ordered ET45 all around and 8,5" in the front and 9,5" for the rears.
But I got, ET40 for the rears, and I knew that could be problematic cause I was already at the limit.
Long story short, after not finding any lowering springs, coilovers or nothing cause I have a S205 4matic. I eventually found a guy who said that the w205 4matic coilover-springs would fit. So ordered KW Coilover-springs, and after also there getting the wrong parts, having to wait 1 month more, and also ordering a 2nd set of new tiers. It looks something like this...
Sorry for the crapy iPhone pictures, I will take new ones soon.
(I could go a bit lower, or a lot lower, but I sometimes drive on bad roads.)

Thanks guys! The wheels are Stuttgart ST9, kinda new brand I think, but I read pretty good things about them, had a good price, and a design I really liked. They are very light as well.
The ride is really good, the OEM AMG sport-suspension is kinda harsh to start with, so its not any worse now. The road noise is amazing, I'm riding Dunlop Sport Max RT, had them on several cars and I really like them cause they're quite IRL, not just on paper
Regarding estate or not, I prefer the looks and practicality as a father soon to be over the w205. But think both look great

What tire size do you run? can you make a pic how far the wheel is out from body front and back? thank
