C63 AMG, BMW 135i
As this is the C63 section, I’d rather see these rims in offsets that suit the C63.
As it is, these photos are worthless because the loss of dish makes for a completely different and sometimes awful look.

I test fitted the new wheels today. In a moment of weakness, I decided that they needed to be tested some more. I'll take these off in a day or two. ![naughty](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/naughty.gif)
The wheels have Michelin PSS mounted on them. It's in the 30's here in NY, and the PSS traction is kinda bad on dry, cold roads![Frown](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
I'll put back my stock wheels w/ the Dunlop Wintersport 4D's soon![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
(Sorry for sucking so badly at taking pics.)

Thanks ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
It rubs very slightly, with a strategically placed, fat co-worker sitting in the back seat for the test run, over wavy roads. When driving it from work, running errands afterwards, then going home, it didn't rub once.
It's a 10" wheel, with 275/30 19" tires and an H&R drop

Yeah, PSS runs wider than other brands so I'm not surprised ur rubbing with ur 275.. Maybe try 265 PSS or 275 from another brand like Contis.
Our cars offset sucks, it's so hard to run 275 or 285 w/o rubbing unless u have wider fender flares.

Nat, 275 on a x10 rim is definitely stretched a little even with PSS.. U can see it in the pics above.
If u want a meaty tires with lots of wheel protection, u should have asked ADV to make u a 19x9 +45mm .. And buy some 275/30 or 285/30 then u will have bulgy sidewalls.

Nat, here is an old pic of my 19x9 +44mm with 255/30/19 to give u an idea of the sidewalls for added wheels protection. Now imagine putting 275 or 285, u will have meaty tires the way u like them. LOL
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v382/Roswell88/DSC_0073.jpg)
The fronts are 19x8 +33mm with 235/35.. again u can go 245/35 for more wheels protection.

natman, Roswell is right. My tires have a bit of a stretch, however there's about 1/2 of a centimeter of the rim protector that sticks out.

It's a huge improvement over my winter setup. Upon the recommendation from the Tire Rack, I bought 235 tires for my rears:

I get that narrow tires have better traction on snow, but come on!

what are your rear offsets? I'm lowered on H&R springs with the 17mm rear spring pads running 19x10+53 with 265/30/19 PSSs in the rear and looks like this:
