Hey everyone. I bought some Vossen S17-01s and need help fitting some tires and wanted to see what everyone thought as a recommendation as they're wide since they were previously built for an e63s... understandably think i gotta roll these fenders...keep in mind the rims will come closer to fender when car has tires on and will sit down and camber in.
Car: C63s Sedan
Lowered on H&R Springs
Previously ran 285s on stock rims.
Rear Vossen: 19x11 ET49
Front Vossen: 19x9.5 ET33
Also looking to refinish wheels so they pop more. Gold i think is the winning choice right now.
oh i see what youre saying. put the car on a jack stand. and then the floor jack under the rim to move it up? or other way around? never thought of doing that...
man i know... its gonna be one hell of a project to pull these fenders enough to fit them. not decided on whether or not ill do it...but i want to see how much i'd need to do it. gonna find a tire at a shop nearby to throw on and see how it lands. making some calls! possible project coming up!
I have 10.5 et 50 with 295/30 r888r and I needed to dial in a bit more neg camber to keep from rubbing outer fender. Yours will poke out 7mm more..might have to run a rubber band

yeah so mine will poke more than even yours. glad to know yours fit tho. what do you mean by a rubber band?
Not going to work if you are lowered . I was running 20x 10.5 +52 and they rubbed , swapped to 20x10 +57 and run 285/30/20 and had to trim the bumper slightly to clear , now no problem . You will need to run a 25 series and stretch the crap out of it and being its +49 its 100% going to rub bad . A 20x10.5 +57 will clear but not your +49

I wouldn’t call it fit when you have to dialed in even more negative camber. Our car already running around -1.5 camber. After dropped, you’ll be around -2.5 which will eat your tires in 5k miles. So assuming he’s running around -3 degrees camber or more so the tires have clearance. I’m just guessing.

the idea isnt to have stock fenders tho. a decent pull and roll is needed. did some more research and got some good advice. getting a tire on it this weekend to see how far itll be off with stock camber first then go from there.
Send them back, dude. They won't work. Only way is for custom fabrication for a similated wider rear quarter panel. You will lose coin if you keep going and mess up the car in the process.... GL,
Depends. How much camber are you willing to run and how much stretch on your tires? To answer this question, you will have to run a trial and error approach.
With you being on H&R springs, it will end up looking funny since your wheel gap will make the camber look more pronounced.
Have done over 30,000km with the wheels/tyres with NO issues. So you are Wrong.
