Took me a year to start playing with the car.




Hey guys I've been in the W212 department most of time that's why I rarely post anything in here, just lurking. Anyways, I have my 2016 CLS400 for a little over a year now and I just barely started putting my hands on it

-BMC air filter fb833/20
-20% ceramic tint (all around)
-I got a bilstein coilovers #PS110 not installed yet, I'm still waiting for my wheels to arrive.
-I just placed an order to a local reputable shop in LA (importing JDM wheels) last week and I was told that it takes about 14-16 week wait.
WORK VSXX (step lip) Matte black face and gloss black inner and outer barrels with gold hardwares and blk/gold caps. The specs are F20x9 +22, R20x11 +26. I also did some research and it looks like that I'm gonna have more room to play towards the inner suspension (strut side) due I have bilstein coilovers and it's a lot narrower than our OEM suspension.

If you guys can chime in... I need help on what F&R tire size I should get based on those specs mentioned above. I'm thinking about 255/30R20 and 295/25R20, what do you guys think? Thanks in advance.

Hi, just spotted your thread and I'm planning to do a similar upgrade to Bilstein in a 2015 CLS. How is your experience with the new suspension compared to the original?

I was thinking of those same struts, if you don’t mind. Can you let me know where you ordered yours and how much? DM me please
