I thought I was going to but the 17" AMG's fit perfectly time.

I'll probably need to run spacers with the LM's though however to clear but I have plenty of room for that.

Do you still have any AMG spacers, or is that what you are talking about?

CDP

no, I was talking about BBS wheel spacers so they clear the calipers.

The spacers I have on right now are AMG fender spacers.

Garfunkle_W124

Oh, I see. Are you going to have a flush fit with the fender?

CDP

Yup, Just like my Hammer's.

c32 brakes look hot on the 124! how do they feel?

where did you order your LM's from?

Garfunkle_W124

Good, I can't stand when wheels are tucked up under a car (unless its a 500E)

CDP

They feel great Robert! Thanks again man. I'm still braking them in but so far so good.

Ordered the LM's through TWS.

Quick question for you Chris,

All this talk about wheel spacers, I have heard that at high speeds, the ride is a little choppy or unstable or feels weird. I cant confirm where I heard it from, but I did hear it. Whats your say on wheel spacers for both front and back !!

BTW, The brakes look good man. One day I will have to drive all the way down from Canada to check out your ride and cruise with you

CDP

To be honest - I have no clue about that problem when it comes to wheel spacers. I guess I'll let you know when I get and mount the LM's!

but for reals Fezz, get your *** down to the OC for one of the meets and we'll cruise. I'll let you take my car out for a spin.

wait you were at the meet on Saturday right?I was wonder what car those came off of.

if the size of the hub on the wheel is bigger than the one on the brake disc, then the wheel is being centered by the lugnuts. cars where this is supposed to happen usually have tapered mating surfaces on thier lugnuts like the ones in our car.

but in our case, our cars are also hub centric, whereby the wheel is centered on the hub and the hole for that is the right size, not too big, not too small. if you over torque the wheelnuts you can deform the roundness of the hole it sits in slightly and cause a slight "pull" as the wheelnut is snugged down. this takes it off center if the hubs arent the same size. not a problem if you are using OE wheels, but if you are using aftermarket wheels that could go on any car, then the hole is usually the largest size for any application and a hubcentric ring is employed to fill that "space."

this is one of the primary reasons for getting your wheels torqued to the manufacturers specs with an accurate torque wrench, and and also why you should use a star pattern to snug down lugnuts.

CDP

You were there? What car were you in?

I guess that was me. LOL

I think the grille was painted black?I was in an E320 w124.Before we moved across the fence it was under the tree where the cls63 parked.I would have introduced myself but I was too busy checking out all the cars.

CDP

yup, that was my car.

Shame we didn't met - I didn't really get to meet majority of the W124 owners. too busy kicking a few back.
