C63 AMG Arctic w/ Stage 1 Tune, DoubleXX pipe, MCD-631X coming soon
First off, not to say anything negative, but Asanti for a C63? really? Lip size will be dictated by soo many variables, as pad height, face design and rim halves available in a specific size requirement. Do you know exactly which Asanti wheel and what the dims are? If I can get every aspect of the wheel, I can figure it out.

There are 3 main concerns:
Size of tires and rims you are putting. Ofset of the rim and last but not least they must be 3 piece custom design.
As much as you want to brag about Mercedes engineering they let us down big time on the traction and design department. The C63AMG is a worldwide shame as far is engineering. I don't know of any car in the world with 450hp plus running skinny a$S bycicle tires in the back.
The engineers did not leave much room to fit larger tires or larger rims either. At least the CLS start with 285 tires.
Like I said over and over, you can go and blame the pathetic job that Mercedes engineers did with the C63 amg. Just about any car owner in the world can easily and hassle free install a set of fat rims with fat tires, we can't.
