Your welcome LIC53AMG... I should not take credit, I just followed superbubblicity (former moderator) advice & can't be thankful enough for his help. This 4mm make a huge difference.

Few more pics, getting my window trim blacked out tomorrow. Thinking of H&R springs from FX. Apologies for crappy iphone pics. Will hopefully take some real photos this weekend.

Quote: The offsets are pretty aggressive et40 front and et45 rear.

The seller was running the standard tirerack recommended tires 235/35 front and 255/30 rear Continental Conti 3's. I will eventually upgrade to a 265 rear. Tires and rims are in almost new condition. Will hopefully throw them on tomorrow after work
Hi Lamb09, this is probably too late but trust me the 255 on the rear isn't very comfortable due to the stretch and wheel protection is a lil out the window. I went to try the 275/30/19 and found them perfect as Roswell's recommendation.

I wanted to slap 285s on but i think it was a little OTT but was dope in anycase.

here is the link to my thread

Quote: 19x9.5 +45mm is aggressive. 255, 265 or 275 will work fine if you don't lower your car... but if you do, I would stay with 255.
Saw a standard c180 running 285s on their wheel of which was dumped low and didnt see any rub scuff marks. the dude probably rolled his arches i think.

Believe it or not, the regular C has lower offset than our C63... probably due to their small calipers vs our BBK.

Both of your cars (LAMB & Misch) looks great on the BBS!!

Good choice on the black-out window trim... it will make your car looks cleaner!!

I told you the H&R drop is very tempting once you have aftermarket wheels. LOL. Ask member timsamg63, he just did his drop at FX on his white coupe.

Edit: Before you go ahead with the drop... drive on a speed bumps & keep 1 of the rear tire on the bump (or jack 1 side of the car)... it will help you assess if you will rub or not after lowering. I might be wrong, but I think you will clear fine with your 19x9.5 +45mm on 255.

I have seen some of the pics of your car in the W204, looks nice. They are CH-R reps though right? What are the offsets, are they the same as the BBS's

Indeed mine are reps, so far I can't fault them. Apart from the centre caps, you cannot fit bbs caps on the reps (I didn't want bbs caps). So I plasti dipped the chrome caps that came with them. Also, you cannot fit genuine Benz caps on them either. (What I wanted).

Needed a fair bit of weights to get the perfect balance for each wheel. I'm sure the genuine BBS would be perfectly balanced and a lot lighter. These didn't weigh much to be honest.

The wheels offset all round,

19x8.5 et45. Perfect fit and no rubbing even with full car.

Tyres at the back are 245, fronts are 225.

Fingers x these reps will last.
