Well I have had the rims sitting in the corner or the garage for a while now. I finaly just bought the tires. They are some 19x9.5 and 19x8.5. They are actually rims for my MB C-240. I really don't drive my car. My GF daily drives it for me! Let me know what you think.
Before.....

After....
I know it has to be lowered. I really don't want to cause I have an aftermarket extended warranty and don't wantto void. I can always change back to the stock wheels pretty easy, but the springs would be too much of a hassel. Oh well. Oh yeah its about a 3 or 3.5 inch lip in the rear and a 2 or 2.5 in the front.

Are they replica Monoblock VI's ? Or are they real Brabus ![[Cool]](cool.gif)
Those are what we were thinking about putting on my g/f's CLK 430.
If you do lower it make sure to lower the front more like i did on my girls ride.
Not 100% sure how they work on the C240's but on the CLK's (w208) you can get different size spring pads to compensate for the fender gap.
We ended up going with Eibach Pro springs w/ 5-way Tokico's and #2 pad up front and #3 pad in back.
Anyway it looks great now DROP IT LIKE IT"S HOTT!
