c350 4matic lowered on 20s
My sisters car... 20" monarchs, h&r lowering springs... should still settle...Night and day difference, looked like a 4x4 before, finally convinced her to lower it lol 20x10 in the rear, looks pretty aggressive.

Proper pics to follow in few weeks with other cars

Nice!
Watch Out for pot holes! Have you had any problems with the rims scraping?

Did lowering the car affect the 4matic system at all? Is there a noticeable difference? TIA

Edit:Forget to mention the wheels look great!

thanks for the compliments guys... Looks good, I love how the c class has the arches over the fenders like the s class. I front would look lower if I used a 245 instead of the 235/30. Rear is 265/30, has slight strech. Would love to run 285/25 but there is no way it would clear with the 20x10 and this aggressive offset.

What is the aggressive offset if you don't mind sharing?

Get a 275/30/20 it will fit just fine.

Not possible. The rears rub very slightly (arent causing sidewall damage) on hard dips on the road... 275 will rub like a ****

Damn that's a tight fit in the back. I can't believe there is no serious rubbing.

It should start to settle after 100 miles or so
