You car looks bloody awesome..


If you don't mind me asking, what is the offset and rim spec.

Are you running 265 wide on the back..?

Regardz,
Wheelspecs, i am running 8.5x19" Mono VI front and 10x19" Mono VI rear.

Offset front is 29 it should have 16mm spacers, the front wheel offset is 45mm.
Offset rear is 30 it should have 5mm spacers, the rear wheel offset is 35mm.

This exact same fitment can be run on a W209 CLK320/500/55AMG.

Nice setup except for the tires. Are those Pirellis P7000's? If they are i used to have them and they're not good. Too noisy.

No problem! All you have to do is a lot of burnouts on your 55 and you should be replacing those tires in no time! :p

Sure...you can see them on this thread:
https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...threadid=33744

The front actually sits about a half-inch lower now. I took the pics right after I changed out my springs, and they had not yet settled.

It's definitely not the beast that your 55 is, but it does me OK
