Diablo Vienna/RH C2 Evo?

Just sold my 18" Katanna Ducatti's and want to get 19s. Sort of bored of chrome but I really love the Diablos. I have seen couple of pics of CLs with C2s or look alikes and love how they look.

If you get 18X7.5 they come only in +42 offset. The spokes get really really close to the calipers so my wheel guy put thin spacers to ensure clearance so no sanding of the calipers was necessary.

But you will be safe with 19's.

I speak form experience - I had 18X7.5 RH C2's on my CLS.

IMO - I'd go with the RH's.

Yip... there is a clearance issue with BRAND NEW front brake pads.

I used a 1/4'' spacer and had to grind a small amount off the caliper with my dremel.

But all is well now!

What!!? I have never heard this. I had 18 katannas and did not have this issue? Is it only with the C2s? WOW

It's the 42 offset that causes the problem.

I have a set of RH C2 Evo 19" x 7.5". The offset is 44 and I had to shave down my calipers about 1/8". No big deal it, comes off real easy with a dremel tool. This way you have an excuse to paint the calipers. I have Nitto 235/35-19 tires with Comptech springs and have no rubbing at all.

I may be selling these (along with my AEM CAI) in the near future.
If you're interested I'll send you a PM.
