AMG C43, 1999
C43, SSR Wheels, Penske Shocks and Adjustable Spring Perches
Below is the link to the pics of my wheels, 1999 C43 and shock, spring package.
Wheels are SSR Competitions. Front 17"x8.5" and Rears 17"x9.5". They weigh approx. 15 lbs each.
Shocks are Penske's 7500 series with adjustalbe compression and rebound. They work very well and are rebuildable and tunable.
Spring Perches adjust the car for Ht. by turning that 19mm bolt that goes through the lower control arm. The perches support the Eibach Race springs 2.5" I.D.

Really sweet looking!
What is the offset of the SSRs? You mind me asking how much they ran you at those sizes? How made the spring perches?

The front offset is 35mm, but I do not know off the top of my head what the rear offset is. The rear wheel is a 9.5" wide by 17" wheel with a 114.3mm bolt pattern that was drilled to 112mm.
You can not tell it was drilled on the car and hard to tell when its off the car. The wheel has a 8mm thick spacerwith a hub centric extension as a one piece plate.
Wheels were roughly $400 each from TWS.
I made the spring perches using some weight jacker stuff made for Nascar type racing. I just machined it to work on the C43.
