W209
I just recently put dubs on my W209 also. Its a been in the *** but I got it to work. My car was already lowered on H&R and for the tires to not rub on the fenders, I had to stretch all four of my tires. My rear has about half a finger space and a finger space in the front. For some reason the rear is lower than the front with H&R springs. Than for the rims to clear my breaks, I had to get adapters for the rear and spacers for the front.
If you're planning to get coilovers and slam your car...you will have to roll your fenders I believe and stretch your tires. My best bet is to go with springs cause, how low can we go with dubs on? But if you do get coilovers..please let me see some pics.
below is a sneak peek of it..my car is in the shop still thats why it has a ugly background.
Have fun with the dubs man.."IF YOU AINT RUBBIN, YOU AINT DUBBIN" hhaha

lol yo thats real nice man i love the rims ...thats what im going for ,so what size tires your runnin with them rims i got 225/30's in the front and 225/35's in the back cuz there's more room in the rear tire....it looks to me your rollin 225/30's all the way around like i did before with my other rims i had ....i ordered the eibach springs which lowers the car 1.2 inches so hopefully i wont have any trouble ..also needed brakes....i got spacers in the rear tire also but not in the front i dont realy need them in the front...like i said in the begining on this thread that strut is ****en us up with the dubs...maybe an aftermarket strut would give us some room to get a little more meat on our rims.....i know for sure you can go 225/35's on your rears bro....but its probably different when you lower it so maybe not and ill find out soon parts coming in two days so how much am i looking at to slam my ride? i got the parts but how much is the average labor cost? all together with springs and brakes i paid $340..so the rest is for labor i hope it aint stacks......
