Need advice regarding this setup
I saw this on youtube and fell in love with the stance and the wheels. I was wondering if anyone knows who I can contact regarding these wheels? I tried calling the MEC design number but no one answered, I left several messages. SO my alternative is find another wheel distributor who can help me match the stance and offset so that my car can sit like that in the rear more importantly. Let me know if any of you guys can help me!

I would like to know more about the size of those things, mine are 305s on 10.5" wide in the back, and they don't stick out the way the ones do in the video. Its possible that with your CL55 offset those same wheels WONT stick out quite as much. I can't even tell which model that is, or even if its AMG. Also, those are some of the lowest profile front tires I have seen. This is a heavy car, you better be on some smoooooth roads if you don't want to be visiting the wheel repair shop to knock out the dings. Sorry I haven't got any info on the brand/size of the wheels for ya.

There was a discussion a few weeks back about the differences in offset. I think the 55 can support wider wheels than the 65 or the 600. I haven't got time to find it now, but it should help you out.

Yes, because of the spindle on the TT, you can not go as large of a lip on the rear. You should be able to get about an extra 1/2" to 1" on the CL55 over the CL65
