Quote: Did you need a camber kit to maintain stock camber?
I didn’t purchase a camber kit and my mechanic didn’t mention anything about the alignment. So I would assume it’s back to stock camber. But just an update after driving a bit more today, the steering feels a lot nicer and a bit heavier.

In desperate need of a wash.





Found a pic of my car from the first night I spotted it in the showroom. I had gone to the dealer to test drive a different spec, but after seeing this color on the C43 with Night Package in person, I was sold.

offset not exactly sure, can find out but the fronts are 8.5" wide (245/30/20) with 5mm spacer and the rear are 10" wide (275/30/20) no spacer needed. Car has stock suspension, no rubbing anywhere anytime....tested thoroughly. Car handles potholes and irregular surfaces way better.

Will those tire sizes cause a problem with the 4Matic in the long run? 235/35 would be more appropriate with the 275/30 rear, or a 285/25 rear with the 245/30 front?

not sure about potential 4matic issues...maybe someone else can chime in...fed her the beans today and it felt and handled great...it has added minimal rake,feels like it and got rid of the saggy rear end which I hated with the oem 18"rims..

Newbie Cory
newbie just trying to learn more about MB after being a long time beemer owner.
Name is Cory. Car is well 2017 AMG C43 Coupe in diamond white. I installed the AMG puddle lights and then the AMG door lock pins. Had the car for little over 2 months.
Still getting used to it and figuring out what she and I can do.
I was on here for a month before posting and now I think I'm ready.

Canyon carving with my two siblings this morning on Ortega Highway, fun having two other cars join me. Daily driving makes me forget how much fun this car really is in Sport+, Traction control off and in manual mode.

What a coincidence, I’m also on Rotiform on my Wagon. What specs do you have on your wheels? You can PM me if you find that better.

Same same but different! Good buy! These wheels look so good on our cars

I ended up going with 19x8.5 all around and 45 offset with 15mm spacers all around. What about you? They look like pretty similar fitments from your picture.
