If you are using the stock suspension springs in the rear you will be very very limited in your drop. I maxed the turns and got maybe an 1/8th so I mirrored that in the front. The alignment was still jacked LOL but MBZ allows a free alignment on new cars with 12 months or 12k miles whichever comes first.

LOL.. no I think Jim's car is still the king of the C63 BS's.... with that power, those suspension mods, and those rims, that's the absolute pinnacle in my book. I maybe looking at S/C down the line, but want to get on the track to establish some baseline times first.

That's absolutely perfect match! Can't find any words for it!
Got em on! Some preview pics - going to drop tomorrow with alignment and I still have to wash the damn car and dress the wheels and tires.
They are a perfect fitment. Thanks HRE. A few comments:
1. I need to get black lug bolts.
2. I was less aggressive with offset than others, I don't like the tires sticking way out.
3. 325 out back looks awesome.
4. Haven't dropped it yet, but it actually looks good. I'm gonna drop probably 10mm back 15mm in front.
5. Thanks Ben at Wheels Boutique and HRE... you guys did a great job!
6. Haven't driven much yet, so I'll let you know about the rubbing if its an issue. Seemed to clear the suspension bits easily.
I'll start a new thread once lowered and washed.

Took her for a ride just now.. No shake, vibration up to 110mph. Which is great. A little rub in the rears, but I just looked and the wheels are clearing the suspension just fine (if it wasn't, would definitely see the inside of the wheel scratched up as it is a gloss black). Now that the car is settled, I may not lower the rear at all. I may just drop the front by 5-10mm to match the rear gap.

Whats the offset on the wheels?
