I think the offsets are 37mm, no fender mods, slight rubbing with a full load of people and stuff in the trunk.

hmm 30 fronts, 34 rears... what tires you think about using? I think with a drop, theres only a few choices you can do (with a 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 setup) with a curved sidewall

If those are the group buy wheels that FrankW sold way back when, I think the front offset is 32ET. Basically, they use the same offsets as TSW Bremma, if I'm not mistaken.

Advans, how much space do you have between the front wheel and the top of the fender?
Im surprised you dont rub at all up front being that low. I rub every now and then when I hit big dips. When i had no space between the tire and the wheel well, I rubbed alot against the suspension and Im running ET 28 up front...
What kinda tires do you have?

There will be very little drop. Something similar to stock.
Thanks.

I'm currently riding on my 17" CLK55 5-spoke AMG wheels, with Yoko YK-520 as my winter setup. My 19" setup is Falken FK451s, but the rears will soon need to be replaced by 452s.
