03 MB C230 COUPE!

[CoupeCrazy03]

Stance is in the process guys! I havent posted in awhile but ive been working on a couple things. Ever since I installed my C32 bbk I had to run some amg style 3's because my Work VS-XX's are the wrong offset to clear the bbk. So to clear it, I have to run a 20mm spacer bringing the overall offset in the front to a +12. So to even things out in the rear Ive decided to order a 25mm spacer in the rear to bring the offset to a +9. Here are some quick pics of test fits of the spacers before I ordered my own set and before new tires.

Here is the front:

Of course I won't be running these tires when the spacers come in so I swapped my 225/40/18s from my current set to my 10 inch rears and ordered some 215/40/18s for my 8.5 inch fronts.

Those are all the pics for now until I get the spacers in. . . I really hope im doing this right, what do you guys think of my first attempt at this?

damnfirst attempt and doing it big and right!

car and pics look real clean.

your rears are gonna look sexy! the front seems a little higher than the rear for some reason? plan on lowering it even more?

HAHA Thanks man! Well im dropped on H&R coilovers and ive pretty much dropped the fronts as far as they can go. I think the reason the front looks a tad bit higher is because of the design of the fenders because they sit a bit higher than the rears. Hopefully my spacers come in real soon so i can slap these bitches on :D

Damn, nice Benz!! Can't go wrong with the VSXX's, especially gold on black! Nice job! Post more pics!!

[young gunna]

sick looking fitment dude! how close to the ground are you?

[Don Henley]

Nice, now let's see some shots from further away

[CoupeCrazy03]

Ill post more pics when everything is said and done.

Spacers came in today . . . but the 20mm's are the wrong center bore :snooty: H&R are looking it over and im waiting on a reply to see if they will exchange them. The 25mm's are just fine and I test fit a rear wheel today :D

25mm beast!

It rubs slightly when rolling so I have to sort that out somehow. I didnt take it on dips quite yet but im sure it won't be good :doh:

It hits where there is a metal tab juts out where the fender and the rear bumper meet, if I can somehow pull it out somehow. Not in a rush, just want it to work out :?

sucks to hear about the 20mm but the reas look perfect!

keep us updated? did you have to extend the studs or where the studs just have to be screwed into the spacers?

I did a 90mm stud conversion on my hub a while back so I don't have to worry about lug bolts anymore :dance: I hope to hear from H&R soon with news that I can swap them out. Payed for something that doesnt work is fail :angry-cussingblack:

This is by far my favorite C230 coupe I've seen. I'm hoping to get mine sitting like this soon. Have you done anything else to it since these latest pics? Let me know if you ever want to sell those wheels.
