Hi Dean!
If I am not mistaken, Guido had the rubbing problem before he lowered his 500E. If he still has the wheels/tires combo with his new H&R springs, the rear tires must be riding on the rear fenders unless he rolled them. I would not lower this vehicle any lower than it already is unless I was gonna run it strictly on a race track only.
The OZ US Rep says that the Opera2 is 35 offset 17X8.5) without the spacers but that 35 offset will not give it that aggressive look.
Methinks that I will get 17X8.5 on all 4 corners and get two spacer kits. If I feel agressive, I'll slap on the spacers and associated lugs. The existing 16's at 35MM don't exactly look like they are buried deep in the fenderwells and the Porsch Engineers flared the fenders for that set up to avoid fender rubbing on teh tire.
That sounds like a great price on the GPS and will prolly be my next addition after the wheels and this "fifth" wheel that I am planning on:
