There's a C320 on the other forum with the same exact wheels and cannot clear the perches so I'm not sure how benzoC55's wheels clear.

BenzoC55, if I were you, keep an eye out on the inside of the front wheels because you're going to be chewing up some front wheel or tires pretty soon if you are indeed running no spacers as you mentioned. Don't want to scare you or anything but it's reality especially at the height setting you're currently at.

I am sure the necessity of spacers is an issue of ride height. The more you drop the car the more negative camber etc and closer to the strut- If you are closer to stock ride height I dont' see how there are issues unless the collars are close etc.

C32 AMG - RIP :(
i'm not a fan of that much drop. I like a car that has the top of the tire even with the fender. No gap. But not with the tire tucked up into the fender well. Also not a fan of the roof spoiler. Looks ok with the sunroof closed, but silly with it vented up like that.

Everything else looks great!
