^ oh yes.
You on coilovers? If it was my car, I'd either raise the rear a tad or lower the front a little bit.
So many white c63's rolling around on those (and by so many I think you and Roswell).. Maybe I'll get them in a crazy color to fit in.

These are HRE FF01's not P40's like Roswell's.

Nice car TUF! Those are the same wheels as Kriston FF001.. Always classy look and sporty after lowering.

12 C63 Coupe
Was originally planning on some Vorsteiner V-FF 101's but they were backordered with no eta so I went with a set of HRE FF01's. Went with IPA kind of on a whim as I didn't like the matte black or silver, and was kind of inspired some of you here.
Michelin PSS 245/35 and 265/30 with 0 rubbing. PSS feels about 10x better than the stock Conti's, grip, road noise, comfort, everything and this was coming from 18's.
Ignore the towel on the front seat; btw, in case anyone was wondering, an entire set of wheels and tires fit in the coupe with the seats folded down with a little room to spare.
The lighting doesn't really capture the depth of the finish but you definitely get more of the bronze hue in the sun.

Things are about to go crazy indeed!
Found this set up on Instagram! Not mine sadly but this will give you an idea with the same colour setup from rims to car

2010 C63
Fully appreciate you are pushing the boundaries and you have chosen to do so with one of the best looking wheels ever made (and second to none quality) but the outcome is cosmetic rather than functional. We all need more rubber on the ground as opposed to stretched tyres filling the guards. Best of luck with meeting your goals and I will follow your results with interest.

Hi There,
Appreciate you're feedback, the tires are not stretched at all, I am running a 225 Section width upfront on a 8.5 wide wheel and 255 width out back with a 9.5 wide wheel.
These are not stretched by any means. If I were running a 225 or 235 or a 9.5 then yes that would be a stretch.
Remember MB offers a 255 section width tire with their optional 19's for the C63. So while i agree that more mechanical grip via wider tires are better for our cars. I have to wonder why MB felt 255's were enough to be the OE sizing?
Mind you have I ran these same tire sizes last season without any issues on my HRE's.
But you are correct, I do fully believe the LM are an all time classic wheel. I had to do them justice on the C63.

Looking sweet Kriston
I think that car is an E class. Will definitely be great on your car too
