I haven't had much seat time with this combo to really comment on the handling or performance.
It's been either raining or snowing the past two-weeks.
Once the weather clears up I'll put these wheels, tires and springs through some spirited testing.

You can fit both of those on a 9.5" wheel but whether it will fit on the rear of a C63 is a different story. It all boils down to three things; offset, actual tire width and the suspension height.

Forgot to post this photo of the Spring Pads.
On the Left, Pad #4 (Part # A 210 325 04 84) - 17mm
On the Right, Pad #3 (Part # A 210 325 03 84) - 13mm <- This one is standard on the C63

I wanted to circle back with you to thank you for your input on your experience with the Forgestars. I finally have my set on and am pleased with how they feel and look. Thanks again. In case you are curious to see what they look like on a W212 E63, here's the link:

Obviously I am biased given that I have chosen similar wheels, but I like the look of your car better with the brushed titanium F14s than with gunmetal F14s. I think they really provide a nice "pop" next to the steel gray color of your car.
Kind regards

Several folks on the Crossfire boards were running that size, and had great results so I figured I'd roll the dice. So far, I've been very happy. Ride is solid, and reassuring enough that I've tackled the Tail of the Dragon a few times, as well as numerous 150mph runs with zero problems or unsettled feel. Traction is much improved all around.

Thanks a lot super... but online it says it's for the W210? Is it the same part for our cars?

The #4 pad comes standard on other models but works on the C63 to increase height in the rear by 4mm compared to stock. You need one on each side.
Combine these pads with the H&R springs and you get a nice even drop front to back.

I really like the look of both your setup but I have a little more love for the gunmetal set but that's personnal!
Quick question... I'm not a big tech guy when it comes to aftermarket wheels (offset and everything). I was considering adding some wheel spacers to improve the look of the stock 19 inch wheels I have.
How many mm should I go to get the look you have? I was thinking 15mm front and rear (H&R spacers). What do you think?

stock 19s are:
19 x 8, 46
19 x 9, 55
I would run 10mm front and back for a nice balance not too aggressive and still relatively safe. You'll need longer lugs. Stock 14 x 1.5 x 27-28
