To answer your lug question, you're gonna need Conical seat lugs for these beauties. Get some black ones from Craig @ RPM. They will look SIIIICK!

Hey guys I just had a few questions....
1.) Will the stock lugs work with these wheels or do I need different length lugs?
2.) I am thinking of lowering the car later on with H&R springs, Will a 245 front & 275 rear tire be suitable for this or should I go with 235 front & 265 rear?
I am going with Hankook tires so they don't run very wide like the Michellin or Continental tires. Im guessing the 245-275 Hankook combo will be ok but im not 100% sure. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

If you dont mind me asking, why did you decide to run only a 19x9 on the rears? I would suggest the 235/35 19 since you have such an aggressive offset on the front, I would do the 265/30 19 since your putting them on a 9 but the 275/30 19's will work just fine.
the P40's we just got are Gloss Charcoal 19x8.5 et48 weighed 22.6 lbs, and the 19x9.5 et50 came in at 23.8lbs

You said P40--- these are M40's and are yours the P40(S) which is the lightweight version- and are yours for benzes? I ask cause the 40 series for Benzes are M.

Most if not all of the HRE Monoblok are built to use the factory lug bolts... the set that we just picked up for a C63 were ball seat.

The fronts are going to stick out 16 mm more than stock.

Ok so tonight I did a test fitment of the HRE's and the front fitment is very aggressive like most of you guys said, BUT it looks great!! It looks very close to being flush with the fenders and I think ill be good to go with the 235 tire setup and H&R springs
Might even go with KW V3's.
*HRE confirmed the widths and offsets are specifically for the C63*

_AMG_ nice rims, can't wait to see 'em on!
It will compliment your aggressive look nicely.
Happy to see you're leaving your exhaust alone for the time being
congrats
