Your colour combo looks great. Carbon interior trim ? if so I would love to see how it looks with the interior colour.
Did you colour match your ADV logo's on the wheels to your car? If not, it may just be the angle of the pictures.

Quartz, any plans on lowering? Needs it big time LOL
BTW, are you wheels 3pcs with hidden hardware? Not really feeling the huge lip behind the spokes, it's hiding your beautiful red calipers too much.

anyone have a good deal on H&Rs?
Wheels are 2pcs w/hidden hardware, in person the calipers stand out, but, you are correct the lip does hide them somel.

The H&R Coil-overs are about 1300-1450 + Shipping.
Springs - any of the vendors on here can get them for you.
A modest drop would do wonders for the appearance of the car!

I have just finished going through all 50+ pages of this thread to find the perfect set of wheels for my 2009 C63. I thought I Had it all figured out, but now I am a little confused. Would like to run 19" wheels with 245 front and 275 rear (not sure of the tires yet). From reading this thread I thought I would need a +41 offset on the fronts and a +54 offset on the rear to prevent rubbing with the wider tires. Talked to a dealer on the phone about some 19" Nische Essen wheels 8.5" front and 10" rear, and he said that those offsets are way too big. So my question is, do the offsets change if I go from a 9" wide rear wheel to a 10"? Is there a way to calculate the correct offset base on the wheel width?

It depends if you want to lower the car or not.
If not, you can go with more aggressive offsets.
But if you want the car to be dropped on springs or coilovers, you'll need about a +50 offset in the rear and about a +40 offset in the front.
It also depends if you want to run Michelin PSS tires which are much wider/square than other brands out there.
If not, you can go with more aggressive offsets.

Not planning on lowering. This is my year round driver in Alaska so I need as much clearance as I can get. So to make sure I understand offset correctly: a higher offset will bring the outside lip of the rim further away from the outside fender flare, and a lower will bring it closer. Am I worried about rubbing on the inside of the tire/chassis, or only on the outside?

Going by my car if it wasn't lowered the 40 would be fine in the front and maybe get away with a 50 in the rear.

^^ u are correct, lower the offset closer u get to the outside fenders. Higher the offset, closer u will get to the suspension .. So u need to find the right balance.
What is the specs availability for the wheels u are looking for? Maybe ur dealer think they will not fit ur C63 cuz that wheel doesn't come with ideal offset for the C63.
If really they come in 19x8.5 +41 & 19x10 +54. They will fit nicely unless the spokes are not BBK friendly like some concave wheels.

The front looks more like +38 & rear +52. They are too flush to be 19x10 +55. Lol

I measured them and they appear to be correct. I took the outer edge width (wider than bead width) then the distance from the inside outer edge to the mount face and did the math.
