Pics of my new wheels (teaser)

Hi everyone,

I finally received my custom 3pcs wheels (2 months wait)... they are SV1 forged model SV5 in brushed aluminium w/chrome lips. I got a great service from Mike @ Auto Haus!

I ordered the step lip, but SV1 don't make this lip for our C63 due to our high offset & small lip in the front.

Specs:
-19x8.5 front (1.5 inch lip)
-19x10 rear (2.5 inch lip) ... SV1 doesn't reveal the offset.

Tires:
General Exclaim UHP
-235/35/19 front
-275/30/19 rear

My question is do you know if the 275/30 should clear in the back without rubbing. The offset looks to be perfect, although I found not too much space (only few mm) between the back rim & the back liner & suspension... so I'm just worried my tires will be too wide & cause rubbing?

Also would you happen to know what size/lenght lug nuts I should buy for these rims? I know some of you are using 14mmx 1.5x 1inch... but I wonder if I use 1.5 inch length would be safer? I'm still a newb about this car. Thanks in advance for your help!

I also attached pics of my JBSPEED CF front lip & roof spoiler. I will update this thread once I install everything. I'm just waiting for Mike to send me the red centercaps before I put everything together.

Looks good. Without knowing your offset, can't answer your rear tires question. I am running a 10" et50 on 275s and no rubbing. As for your lug bolt question, I think I read somewhere in the Wheel/Tire forum that you need a minimum of 7 complete turns for proper thread engagement; but, I could be wrong (normal disclaimer).

Is it really that big of a secret that the wheel manufacturer will not reveal the offsets? What if the time comes to sell your wheels and someone with a car other than a w204 C63 wants to know if it will fit or not?

Thanks everyone for the feedbacks... and thanks a lot Mike for looking after the caps for me. I would definitely recommend Auto Haus if you're interested in SV1 wheels.

I actually installed the wheels today, and luckily, the 275/30/19 don't rub at all (even on speed bumps)... so the offset of my 19x10r is perfect. What's good is that the wheels is already hubcentric, so no centering ring needed.

As for the lugs, I actually used 14mm x 1.5 x 1 inch like most of you did... plenty of threads to secure the wheels, no need of the 1.5 inch. They are McGuard conical lugs & locks.
