245/35/18's are hard to find and they are expensive. I got the 235's for free, so for now, they'll work.

Haha. Thanks.

Those wheels are stock for the E63, not C43. However, nobody's put them on a C43 yet. They are not genuine; they're rather damn good replicas.

Nice pics I like the rims but I think they would of looked better if you had 18's all around.

I have a question about your sig. It says "TCU tune", what do you mean by that??

Thanks! Yeah, I agree 18s all around would look better but they don't come in the proper offsets for the front.

As far as your question, it's the TCU reset/calibration technique as discussed in the other threads. I just call it a tune, because...well...you tune it for your driving style.

Das C43 jeep

I bet you can't wait until you drop that car?
Can you put your complete fist in the wheelarches?

Rims looks cool 17 in the front and 18 up rear, cooooooooooool, the american muscle car style

I also notice your rear bumper isn't in a straight line all the way, NO C43 bumper is even Steven!


Car looks great

As far as the "AMG" logo goes has anyone read up on the fake Apple stores in China? or the Geely Marie(spelling) SLK knockoff? They have no shame bottled with a hint of clever.

I also want to mention that I've cracked, bent, and welded more OEM cast AMG wheels than I'd like to.

Wheels look good! I like your plate

Haha, yeah my friends call it a 4x4 . Yeah, I can't wait to drop it, but it'll be a while for me to take it to the shop and drop it. As far as gap goes, I can fit my fist in the arches.
