HREs for VIC55

I'm still torn on this setup, especially the rear. I'm worried that it isn't aggressive enough (et42) and that I may get the subframe rub on flex? We'll see. Let me know what everyone thinks. By the way, the tires are just temporary. I am getting 265/35/18 and 295/30/18 Advan A408s as soon as I can.

i agree too that they look small.. it might be the lip that makes it look small.. regardless i still think they look nice.... i guess it all comes down to compromise.... nevertheless, it's about time jangy u got something ..

They look nice very nice Jangy. Did you weigh them? I assume they are about 18.5-19 pounds.

Jangy wants handling performance...thus the smaller wheel...looks great and I bet it makes a difference in handling feel too.

Jangy switched up the title of this thread so that he would get more posts. Everybody needs you to make a decision on this before the E55's are all but extinct.

As I mentioned Jangy used my name without my permission so please do not assume or infer that Vic55 in anyway or form supports or is partnered up in the Jangy decision making process or lack of one.

It looks good...but I think it'll look better once you have the tire set up you're looking for...

HAHAH!! Actually, I put your name in the post simply because you were the one bashing me to hurry and get something.

Hehe, by the way, I have your AMG plate. Brand New!!
