Polar White C43 Sedan
How much horsepower does the 3W license plate add?


If you could post dyno graphs that would be great.


Cheers.

Those tire offsets look weird.
They look to "pushed out" IMO.
Otherwise nice rims!

What are the size stats on those wheels/tires? Width/offsets mainly of interest

I've got a spare set of 19x8.5 et35 /255 fronts and 19x9.5 et45 285 rears from my CLS I'm hoping to squeeze on the 43 when it comes

The wheels were NOT meant for this car. We had to run spacers to make them fit.

Stock wheels are 19x7.5 the front were 20x8.5 with 15mm spacers, that's why it protrudes slightly beyond the fenders. The rears were 20x10, but in order to make the wheels looks even, we ran a 5mm spacers in the rear. These wheels were only put on for the show. If they had lowering kits available, the wheel would definitely tuck in. Since this is the 1st C43 SEMA car, we didn't have very many options. We appreciate the comments and criticism...It's trail and error right now....Thank you for looking on this post.
