Conclusion to my ADV Story (Loads of Pic)
Original Post:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...loads-pic.html
Once the incident happen, ADV.1 responded me right after in the afternoon of the next day and set up a pick up to send them back to their factory. It took around a week for them to receive it, considering from NY to LA. They figured out the problem, which they carelessly assemble the front center to the back and the rear to the front, so its basically an easy fix. It only took them 4 days to get it done and ship it back to me. After a week of shipping again, I got the wheels back and they came up great wif the PSS tires. To conclude, ADV have done fabulous customer response this time, and I hv to give them a big thumbs up!!
Mods Done so Far: Vorsteiner CF Front Lip, Vorsteiner CF Side Skirt, OEM CF Mirrors, Mode Carbon CF Trunk Spoiler & Front Splitter, JL CF Diffuser, MA Carbon Full Carbon Interior Kit, ADV 15 Trak Function, Revozsport CF Rear Apron & Front Vent
Alright, here are some pictures please enjoy!!

Damn I want your wheels. They look amazing.
Great that they took car of the issue so quickly.
I would drop the car a little lower but that's just my sickness
Please organize a propper photoshoot for your car. I want to see your wheels on close-up pics

Most importantly good to hear things worked out for you in a timely manner and that they actually came through vs the lack of satisfaction from so many others throughout the 360F days.
Nice overall setup as well on your C63!

Glad to hear everything worked out for you. I like the wheel design a lot however it appears the wheel is too wide for the tire you are running, unless you are going for that strecthed look. Hope you are not planning on tracking it.

Interesting
Glad to see they stepped up.
I noticed you said shipped to NY to LA.
I was under the impression they are located in Miami? BC I see the owners all the time at Palm Beach International Raceway.

All he said was the stretch was minimal and it is still fully functional. Obviously said F1, DTM, NASCAR etc. don't stretch tires but since when are they concerned with a rubbing fender? I doubt the OP plans on banking around corners at 160mph or taking turns with so many lateral G's his organs end up on the same side of his body. Not to mention F1/NASCAR don't use 3 piece wheels...
I bet you could beat the living hell out of that setup and the first thing to go wouldn't be the tires due to them being "stretched" which they aren't.
For the OP's intentions it is more than perfectly fine. Google stretched tires and those will start to look like they a bulging out the sides.

great to hear everything worked out! really quick turn around too. wheels look great. what offset is your rear? I have 275 on my adv rears and they dont rub. I'm not lowered though (yours looks like it?)
what exhaust is that btw. looks cool. and man I dont know if you've tried tracking the c63 but its great fun and I think drives better than RS5 (but I've only driven my friends, I dont own an RS5 like you)
Their office is in Miami but the wheels are made in LA

my wife bananas! :D
Yeah, I would def run 275 if my car is not lowered. Really, I should try to track it once before I sell the car. Actually with the rs5, you could upgrade the sways and stabilzer and it will handle like a beast in corners.

how are you lowered btw? just h&r springs? i didnt catch what offsets you have but i am running 10r lowered on springs with 275 using v12s. there is the odd slight rub when I am going fast and hit a large bump. otherwise no rubbing at all.

^^ chill dude, OP tires are not that stretched.. U r talking like his wheels are sticking out like the VW crowd. Lol
I don't blame OP for playing safe, both of my aftermarket set had 275/30 & they both rubbed.. So I ended up selling 1 set & my second set, I had to trade my tires for 265/30.. Such a waste of time & money.

So let me see if I understand your logic, you decided to stretch your tire on a rim that is a inch too wide which will cause premature and improper tire wear due to an incorrect contact patch and cause adverse handling so you can fit a "275" tire rather than mounting the proper size wheel and 265 tire that will perform much better just so you can say you have a "275" under there. Your reasoning defeats logic Congratulations, probably one of the top 10 dumbest things I have read on this forum and believe me I have read some good ones.
Since you know so much about how to properly fit tires on "rims" at least use the right term... wheel. Rims are 22's that go on 50 cent's "whip." Wheels go on AMG mercedes.
OP - Again, tire fitment is fine, don't let them talk yourself into worrying.
For reference... THIS is a stretched tire:

RS5, I'd watch out if I were you. You can die driving around town on these severely stretched tires 
Some people like to play it safe and oldschool, others like it risky so they get more aggressively spec'd wheels.
Not all cars here are track toys.

But I will def put back the stock wheels for track sometime in summer!!Congratulations for thinking that the tire is stretched and acting like he is racing it around like an F1 car
