No rubbing so far, but that also means I haven't had any significant weight in the back seat.....
Love the ride, love the wheels...

Here are some more.....

I have just purchased similar wheels. They are 8.5x19 front and 9.5x19 rear. I hope to get the tires mounted and balanced on the tires tomorrow so I can install them on my 320 tomorrow.

I'm trying to decide between Eibach or H&R springs. I'm leaning towards the Eibach. Would you recommend them, or the H&R? The springs and sway bars will be my next purchase. So for the while mine will not look as good as your setup because of the lack of drop. I will post pictures once I have them installed....

Is yours dropped? If so, then who's springs did you choose and why?

yeah dude.....had to drop it....lol looked too high for my taste.

I went with H & R springs and bilsteins shocks. I read some good reviews on this setup and thought I would go with it.

Plus Dynomite on here also has the same setup.

His ride looks lower than mine for some reason though

but anyway I guess im contempt with it. Pics to COME!!!

Autopartswarehouse.com had the best price for both front and back.
They came with sensors, but they are not the correct ones, do not attempt to use them. Go, like I did, to your closest MB dealer and give them your VIN. They will provide you with the correct sensors - I believe they only go on one side of the vehicle.

Hey guys do you know what the ET numbers are for the rims I know they are 8.5x9 and 9.5x19 buy what are the offsets (ET)?

im here in London and I may get them for my bros CLK350 sport. A few sellers have them on ebay but I believe the offsets are wrong for a clk. Maybe you guys could enlighten me? Did you use spacers?

Thank you very much !!

SAM
