Arent these the ones you have now, just black?

Offset of 60 and 68? Is this a typo?

+60 offset is crazy for the front so I'll have to run a 30mm spacer but the rear is correct. Remember the rear axles are 1.375" longer than the standard "C". +68 should be correct for an 11" wheel. Anyone have any experience with the R888 in a 20" wheel? It comes in a 315-30 20 that fits an 11" wide 20" wheel. Can be used for road racing along with a 265-30 19 for the fronts on 9.5" wheels.

Why do you want to use 19" front and 20" rear?

Won't a 30mm spacer on the front axle affect handling?

I don't necessarily want to use 19" front and 20" rear but the SLS wheels will work fine and are less expensive than having custom wheels made. I also wanted black to have the different look. I have to have 19" in the front so I may just buy the C63BS wheels in black and see if they will sell me just the rears? I doubt it but its worth the ask.

1st of all car looks great.
2nd you say the axles are longer. Did you change the rear suspension to the BS rear end? Is it all stock parts or custom?

All OEM parts from the newest E, CLS, or SLS models. All the stock "C" parts bolted up to the new wheel carrier etc..... Actually a VERY simple change for the rear.

I'll be interested to hear your review on the carbon brakes after the track event, I'm considering swapping as well.

Sorry if this has been asked but does the bumper fit with stock pre facelift hood and grill. I don't mind the gaps around the lights.

Yes, it fits fine. Not exact but good. The hood actually has a little different lines to it.

Phew thought I jumped the gun by ordering the front end from prior.
Any update with ram air kit. I am more or less run in and want to go small pulley and stuck with stock air boxes.
