How's it going guys my name is Julian this is one of my first posts. So a friend of mine on the forums Donald aka:ll1l2l1l2lll finally got a new set of wheels on. It was my pleasure to head out and shoot his car. The cars a 1995 C280 and given its age its awesomely clean which makes it fun to take pictures of. Posting up the pictures here as I'm sure you guys will enjoy the material. Hope you guys like it & thanks for looking.

thanks everyone! I'm sure someone is going to ask but the wheels are O.Z. Racing AMG 3pc. 17x8.5 and 17x10 +17 all around.

I'm wondering whats your input in pushing the envelope and getting spacers? (10 front, 15 rear) I'm happy with the stance right now but i'm thinking i want a bit more.

couple questions for you
1. what's your suspension set-up?
2. is that a magnaflow muffler? 14815?
3. i hear that mercedes camber is non-adjustable. how did you adjust your camber?

I don't know D, you've got pretty damn healthy ratio of low and 'flush' already. I feel ya though, spacers would help pervert your fitment some. Rears look spot on to me, maybe go after the fronts first. Kick those out and re-evaluate? Low trumps 'flush' in my book all day, I think you went in the right direction for sure though. Looks proper, very traditional, but so so SiCK!!!

I am impressed. It turned out better than I expected. What type of modification did you have to do running that low of an offset on the W202?

I really like the other mods. OEM smoked tails, Schatz lip spoiler. This would be scary with Brabus front/rear bumper sections for the pre-updates with C36 side skirts and paint matched door handles w/ black where the grey trim is now.

Not sure how I feel about the rain guards but the wheels are very nice. Exhaust looks nice as well.

camber isn't adjusted. its just sits that way =P i hear from a friend that stealerships should sell camber bolts that are slightly adjustable.

lol! nice how you could spot that spoiler. What mods i did to get that fitment was just to roll and pull the fenders slightly. I'm sure with stock fenders you could still fit the 17x10 +17. I still have plenty of room to play around with. But as many of you guys that are as low as i am, you have to trim a bit of the side door molding because it'll rub there (qtr panel)
