The silver one looks bigger because tuners in Germany put 11" wheels on for pictures Negative camber is when the bottom of the wheel angles out due to the negative camber. Positive camber would have the top out and the bottom in. Negative camber helps balance out the CLK's weight eating through the outside of tires, and it also helps handling A LOT.

Thumbs up

I have negative camber on all my 4 wheels after the car was droped with H&R sport springs.
I like those 11" wheels, man if it looks agressive.

not only are the wheels very very very wide there can always be spacers.

i think my c230 has more rear negative camber than that silver CLK. My at 4000 miles my c230 inner part of the rear tires were bald.


btw- ben i think your car looks the best out of all the ones posted.

That kit was actually made by Expression, who no longer sells to MH-Dezent (I'm still waiting for my kit from them...). This is why my Expression kit looks exactly the same. The only difference is, we can get product when we order from them.
