C63
New member and New car.

Hi All,

I just purchased a new 2012 C63 in Diamond white with Performance Pack and other options.

So far I am really impressed with the car, it is an all round spectacular car and suits my daily driving needs exceptionally well.

I have ordered 10mm wheel spacers and am looking for the right specs on the wheel nuts as I need to get a set that are 10mm longer.

On another note, I have purchased some KW V3's, a Evosposrt Intake and will buy the Evosport pulley. I would love to buy some LTH's but as I am in Australia my choices are somewhat limited. Apart from that, I will get a custom tune and X pipe to round out the engine mods.

As for aesthetics, I want to eventually get some 20" HRE wheels with the new style concave, but that will be a few months away.

Anyway, I have been reading lots and look forward to contributing to this great forum.

Question

Welcome to the Forum from another Aussie.....it's a ripper...plenty of info here.
However, I note you're talking about fitting wheel spacers.....I suggest that you get approval from your insurer first......and your relevant Registration organization.
Cheers, Pickles.

Congrats.
You won't get much concave with the wheels on a C63 though

Enjoy
