Thanks for the prompt response... I mean what profile tires are they? 35? 45?
I didnt understand what you meant about the suspension... I do not know too much about types.... please explain. How many inches of a drop?
Thanks.
My Wheels are not chrome.Originally posted by benzondubs
Thanks for the pics, it is appreciated...
Even the pics with chrome are 18's?
What size tires are they, and how much of a drop do I need on my c280 to rest on the wheels like yours? Please give me some advice....
Thanks.
Justin
It is 18"
You need H&R with pad number 1. Make sure you roll the front fender.

what would you make your set up if they were 19's? with no rolling or flareing fenders....?
I test fit:
AMG mono
19x8.5" with 10mm spacers and 235/35/19
19x9.5" with 5mm spacers and 265/30/19
If you do not have an AMG car, you need to roll the front. Mine is rolled from AMG factory.

pnsji:
Did you roll your front fenders? If so, did you bring the fender out more or just flatten out the inside (hope that's clear)?
I never roll the fender. It clear enough for 18"
For 19", I probably want to roll it a little bit more at the part where the fender meet the front bumper.

I know this is old as all hell, but If I understand correctly you could color match the side molding by putting in body color inserts where the chrome strips are..??? or is it jus replacing the whole molding...
this is something I was looking to do...I want the whole body to be one color, i have a white c280 non-sport
...can any 1 confirm
ok, this is way late int the game but what does rolling the fender actually consist of?

Here's a question for ya. Will a 18x9 rear with a 35mm offset (same tires) fit a C280 without any fender mods? Is 18x9.5 out of the question?Originally posted by pnsji

Sport models are one piece so if you want to do with that way you would have to buy the whole thing. Easiest way is just to paint what is chrome on your car.Originally posted by !!!!!NJ Drive
