Here is the wheels specs:
5x112 bolt pattern
18"x8.5" size
66.5 Center Bore

I photoshopped them on my car, and this is what it can look like if they fit.
Thank You.

HaHA well appreciate all the "likes" :-) will see when they arrive, those are just wheels so nothing permanent but wanted to go with something way different.

225/45/17 or 235/45/17 is fine, although 225 is a more common size and could probably find more deals on taht size

Hankook V12 evo- good tire?
Forgestar F14 better than TSW Nurburgring?

I am wondering the same kind of questions, looking to buy some CF5 in the near future.

9.5 vs 10.0 in the back

I know a few people have 10s in the back, any special fitment issues? I'd prefer 10 but 9.5 seems to be the norm, does 10 require special offset or anything?

lug bolts in rear and eventually lug bolts in the front (in order to

Tips: IT CAN BE DONE!!! Much different look though.

*I need to clean my car, she's so dirty!
Still wondering, which H&R coilover system do you have on your car? I'm curious because i don't know if i went with the right one since there weren't any listed for the w209s.

I have 10s in the back and there's plenty of room in there. I'm sure i can run 11s in there if i wanted to. just make sure that the offset is correct for the width you want.

Hay guys how would 19x8.5 et30 front and 19x9.5 et32 fit in the rear. I'm looking at a set of works that a guy has for sale but there is a slight bend on the lip of the inside end of the rim.
Thanks
