pics of C32 on Carlsson 2/5's?

Having trouble finding good pics. Carlsson website has a couple, but no good shots. btw, does the 1/5 in 19" fit on a C32?

As you see the 19s fit according to their fittment guide, but only 1/5 is availible in 19.

I will have photos of a c32 with 2/5 in a week

whoa, that's a confusing chart, is it complete? are you saying that 1/5's come in 19's and that they'll fit on a C32? are you also saying that 2/5's don't come in 19's? Missing from the chart are 2/5 BE, don't they exist?

Of course, it is my car!

The pic was taken 3 yrs ago. At that time, the car has Carlsson 2/5 Brilliant Edition 18x8.0/18x9.0. 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 Toyo T1-S tires. The car has AMG shocks + Renntech springs.

wow, looks great. The drop looks perfect. Do you remember what spring pads you're using?

btw, are you able to shed any light on the above? the chart posted seems to indicate that 2/5's aren't available in 19".

do you happen to know if 1/5's are available in 19"? Do they fit on the C32?
do you happen to know if 2/5's BE are available in 19"? Do they fit on the C32?

Thank you!

Ive heard that the BE wheels arent made anymore as 2/5.
According to the chart 19s 1/5 are availible for the w203.

I havent changed the spring pads. I think my car has Dot 3.

Carlsson 1/5 BE (19x8.5/19x10) can be fitted on a C32. Its rare, but I think I can still find them.

Carlsson 2/5 BE (19x8/19x10) can also be fitted on a C32. Same thing, if you want, I can get them.

Thanks Harris! I was actually going to follow up with you along with the suspension email, but you beat me to it. Very much appreciated. I'm still going to email you about the suspension though, I just need to find the time.

19x10 seems very wide for the rear, especially since the max tire size is around 265 before rubbing becomes an issue (please correct me if I'm wrong). Doesn't a 265 tire look a little stretched on a 19x10?

Do the wheels come in a 19x8 and 19x9 staggered setup? Or maybe 19x8.5 and 19x9.5?

265 should be fine for the car, I have 265 on my car right now and it doesnt have any rubbing issue. If Carlsson says they fit, they should.

No, the wheels only come in one size.

Holy bump from hell batman, I know, but maybe the guys in this thread will get an update from this:

I happened upon a great price on a set of 18x8.5 et 40 18x10 et30 2/5's

Wanting to know:
A. Will the fronts clear the brakes on these specific wheels
B. Were these sizes offered to fit W203's? (aka will our bolts work with this particular set)
