C63 on HRE MONOBLOCKS - Happy and Sad

I am happy and sad...Ordered these wheels 2 months ago...in preparation for the arrival of my 63...go to put them on today....and they poke out in the rear too much. Not to mention they rub. The fronts are a little aggressive too, but don't rub. Can't shave them down in rear because there is barely any pad to shave. Hopefully I can get this squared away with WB on Monday. Now I am probably going to have to wait weeks and weeks for new ones..Winter is creeping up in NY....Enjoy whats there....Car is dirty, rained like a monster today.

What is your F/R offset? Looks like you are 10+ too much in the front and 15+ in the rear.

For the rest of us, what size wheel and tire combo do we NOT want to get for our c63's?

Rim sizing & Offsets

Sorry to hear about the rubbing on the rears, maybe you can get them replaced by your shop that you deal with. What offsets did you get for the rims, I think they look awesome! Have you noticed a harder ride quality with the HRE vs Stock. I have E55 and live in NY and I really dont know what Rim Sizing I should go for. Our roads suck for the most part so 20 inchers are out in my case. Any thoughts??? Best regards, Joseph

For all - They are 20x9 and 20x10. 245x30 tire in the front - 285x25 in the rear...Nitto Invo's...I ordered these wheels from Wheels Boutique in Florida. They are HRE's #1 dealer. And also they have done C63's before. But not sure what happened with these. The offset in front is about 5 mil off..and 10 in rear....pretty agressive.....from what little driving I did yesterday...on regular roads, the stock Pirelli's are better..when I was on the highway, flat roads...the Invo's were grippy as hell. The wheels are going back next week. I just wanted some nice wheels for the summer......

UGO, see this post: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...7&postcount=57

This should be of interest to you. Looks like WB and HRE should be able to solve your problems. WB should have known the correct offsets since the had that other white C63 one to work with.

Not a fan of the C-Class at all but that C63 looks very visually appealing nice wheels to by the way.

Damn that blows. Looks downright nasty though. Hopefully they can get it fixed soon so you can get that beast on the road. Good luck.

Hey, sorry to hear that happened... that sucks bro.

Either way, I have to give you mad props because those wheels with the correct offset will look sicker than any wheels I've ever seen on this forum or anywhere else. Black with the white pinstripe is so bad ***.

Did HRE send them with the white pinstripe, or is that something WB did for you? Sorry in advance if this was discussed in another thread...

If you did your tails like mine, your car would look really stealth!
especially with a CF spoiler!
