C63 OEM WHEELS AND ENGINE
I'VE BEEN TOLD FOUR DIFFERANT WHEEL OFFSETS FOR MY 2009 C63. IS THE FRONT 45 REAR 54 FOR THE 18" STAGGERED OEM WHEELS? READ THE THREADS ON THE 19" WHEELS VERSUS POT HOLES (WE HAVE MANY HERE IN ARIZONA) YET I SEE MB'S WITH 19"/20". MAYBE THEY OWN A WHEEL AND TIRE SHOP ! ANY SUGGESTIONS ON A WHEEL SUPPLIER THAT YOU'VE USED IN THE PAST ? HAD THE ECU RE-PROGRAMED TO THE 511hP SPECS ( TOLD THE ONLY DIFFERANCE BETWEEN THE TWO HORSEPOWER/TORQUE IS ECU PROGRAM AND EXHAUST HEADERS)AND HAD HIGH SPEED STALLING ISSUES, HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD A LIKE ISSUE ?

You need to calm down, or at the minimum turn off your caps lock key. It's up to you whether you want to sacrifice some ride quality for a more aggressive wheel and tire setup. There are plenty of high quality aftermarket wheel manufacturers and suppliers available for our cars. Just do a quick search here on the forums and I'm sure you'll find plenty of results. What ECU flash are you running? Just saying you had the ECU reprogrammed doesn't help shed much light on your "high speed stalling" issue.

Give EVO a call and I am sure they will do everything they can to sort out your high speed stalling issue. I am sure they want happy customers. Sometimes there may be little glitches that need working through. It is possible it is not a tune problem but you need to have it diagnosed.

How can you be such a jerk off when the member (boostgomez) spent time trying to help you and make sense out of your jibberish??
At least show some appreciation. He asked you some questions and offered some advice... What were you looking for? Door front delivery of answers????

I see that you have never posted here before...
This is the general rule of posting on ANY online forum:
*** DO NOT USE CAPS! This is equivalent of shouting in our virtual world and it really hurts our eyes. So unless necessary DO NOT USE CAPS! ***

IMHO the forum should ban people who come on the boards with this type of attitude. This individual has only done 4 posts and all but one have been of flaming type. The other post was asking where they could contact details for Modulare M11 forged monoblocks which qship5 just installed. Pretty simple...ever heard of doing Google search? Guess not...here you go Dr. Ted http://www.modularewheels.com/ I would recommend you be a little nicer to forum members next time they try and help you as the outcome might be more positive

I would have to agree with Boost Gomez as he was addressing your properly, and did not attack you, I would suggest to take a deep breath, and everyone calm yourselves. Should you need some advice, it would be great to preview your post before pasting it up on this forum, people around here are very helpful, however get "rustled up" if you are not using proper etiquette.

Straightfoward answers:
1) I've seen even SmarCars and Mini Coopers running 19' and 20's. It's aesthetical, but risky, and yet, you'll be looking like a baller. Above all that, it WILL make the ride stiffer and there WILL be a bigger chance of getting a flat. That's a FACT. Don't be naive. There's a huge chance that you'll feel uncomfortable and a bigger chance that you'll get a flat tyre. So, don't be stubborn. If you are prone to deal with this kind of trouble, then, get the bigger wheels and be a happy baller.
2)Neither I, nor anyone here can help you with the ECU problem, unless you become a little more specific. It's impossible. It is like posting something as "I've got an itch on my as*. What can it be?". The answer can go from "hemorroids" to "go wipe your as*". So, bring us real information based on a real world, and we'll provide you good answers (if you can read them).
And shame on your grammar. I'm brazilian and I'm almost James Joyce compared to you.
