Sold CLS55 for 2012 cls63...

I've gotten lots of good information from mbworld. Given a wee bit as well.. I hope. Anywayz, I read through the forum looking for wheel size options on the rear. I put 305s on the cls55, want to do the same with this only add 20" I see a few done but saw the thread about Mercedes dealer saying no. Like no what? Bad ride? Void warranty?
Also, this ride is really high. Not like the cls55, so much lower. I hate to lower it for inspection reasons here in Hawaii. Pure pain in the butt. Any suggestions? And perusing for pics of black cls63 wheel options... If you have any pictures to share.

Welcome braddah! It does sit a little high stock..Go get Recon, should be pretty easy on the CLS63. Also the upgraded 20" wheels should not void warranty but you never know with the hawaii dealers..My CLS63 is sitting on KW coil over sleeves out front and there lowering link out back. Too bad this model isn't sitting on complete adjustable suspension, then you get just get the lowering module and you would have no problem during safety check..

Alohaz,
Will

Sorry, my CLS63 is in Vegas...But they are really simple though. The rear is a link, which can break easily if forced on. But cheap to replace..
