I like the HRE C22s, but was recently told by a member that they do not hold the weight of the beast....or did he mean my weight?


Either way. If you stick with the AMG Style IV rims, there are quite a few out that will allow you to go wider, etc. The newest set is on the '07 SL500s.

I am running the 295/30/18s on Style IV rims off of the CLS500 with 5mm shaved off the inner face, and have no rubbing. It did not even rub unshaven until I lowered the car. I like it lowered, so I had to shave. I love the lipped look of a strong offset.
