Can 19'' LM5 fit C32 AMG ?!

Hi everyone,

Can below 19'' Lorinser LM5 fit our C32 AMG without doing any adjustment ?! Simply take the factory 17'' wheels out and put 19'' LM5 in. If not, what is the "right" 19'' wheels number for it ?!

Thank soSoso much !!

I assume you're referring to the post in the classifieds section. See my reply there.

Thanks, harris !! It is really helpful!!

i get the wheels info from ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33748

So, do you know the right wheels set number for 19'' LM5 and i can simply take the factory wheels out and put LM5 in without doing any adjustment. Also i saw some of LM5 is much cheaper and i believe there are replicas so do you know any different between original one and replicas one ?!

thanks in advance!!

I think the eBay auction and the LM5s in the classifieds section are the same wheels. The problem is you have to figured out the offset of those wheels first. Or perhaps you should call CEC directly and ask them whether a set of LM5s taken off from a CL600 can be fitted on a C32. Maybe getting a few spacers and some bolts from them will solve the problem? I am not sure.

On the eBay auction, it says "these rims have been professionally buffed, polished, and packaged by CEC in Los Angeles. They look BRAND NEW". I have a feeling that these wheels have been damaged and refinished. Make sure you know what you're getting into and prepared to take any risk involved.

HI,

a guy in germany put 19' AMG rims on his SLK 32 so I think they can fit on your C 32. Maybe those large rims look good but its bad for your cars performance.

AMG technicians told us that they did the best performance rides with the C 32 in 17'. Hard to believe but thats what they say.

Regards,
