9.5” up front

Hey guys, new to the 63 gang. I’ve done some
searching and can’t seem to get a definitive answer to the question.

Im looking get get a set of vertini FR1.1s in 20x9.5 all around. Not an ideal size I know but there cheap so I’m raising the question.

Can I slam my car on coilovers and pretty much tuck tyre? If so what will I need to do?

Shes booked in to get the rear gaurds pumped about 15-20ml this week so I’m assuming the rears should be good. Will I need to pump the front?

Cheers

here we go again.

also why stop at 15-20 ml? why not do a full liter or a liter and a half? but seriously, what does pump the front or back even mean? flare the fenders? 20s shouldn't go on a C63. it ruins the handling and is too big for the car. and let's not forget you left off the most import info: the wheel offset. without that, no one can help you.

Cheap enough to cost you twice as much as a good set of wheels

Yeah I should of maybe waited for the offset info but I should have that tonight. I just thought any info at this stage would be helpful. No need to be a smart *** though

Yea and suspension, fender roll, and probably a new front bumper

If you drop the car 1.5 or 1.8 with 19s car will sit right and still ride good , the money you save on the rims you gonna end up
spending in suspension issues later on
Mercedes has some nice OEM wheels from other models if you not statified with the ones you have on just check if it’s the right
fit

You’re not putting a 9.5” rim on front without new fenders.

You should be able to run a 20x9 / 20x10 with no issues with a lowered suspension. If you're compromising ride quality and risking potential damage to car for a cheap wheel, you should reconsider.

We offer a similar wheel to the Vertini you are looking at called the BD-11



BD-11 on w205
