That's all that matters, right?

18" staggered AMG wheels from a newer car.

Drop it 1" all around.

Around here wheels like that would be toast in no time. How well do they handle 10" deep holes? :D

I [LIKE$ it! Looks verah W212 E350 Bluetecesque......:D


Looks a whole lot better than the guy's cheesy-looking '99 E300 W210.... that put W211 05 & 06 E320 CDI wheels on it. :rolleyes:

Yes, but they're also quite a bit wider, which hurts MPGs. They look nice though :)

A set of E55 springs maybe.

Those look great! I've been kind of lusting after some older Penta's for mine but I may have to go your route to clear the larger brakes I have for the front.

You also have to keep in mind two or three PSI under inflated is a problem.I am glad to see the county cop's driving on the wrong side of the road in certain spots around here. And that would be my response if I ever got pulled over for doing it.

That might be a little difficult. E55s are airmatic struts.
