'12 CLS63 + DPE MT5

20x9 in the front and 20x11 in the rear. Rears are concave but it was too bright to take a good shot of that. Not lowering it, looks and rides great as is.

Very clean & aggressive.

Don't you want to tint the rears? Think it would add a nice touch to the ride

I like it alot.... what tire size did you go with? 255x30 and 305x25??

I know you dont want to drop it but the KW system for 1k is really worth it.

I think he ran a 20x9 and 20x10.5 with et 30 up front and et 45 in the rear on Nitto Invos. Which makes me wonder cause I have a 20x11 in the rear on an et 45 and no rubbing plus im dumped.

Maybe this was his winter setup??

Actually 295 in the rear at DPE's recommendation. The suspension drop would be cool but I like how this looks and I don't want to chance an issue so soon. This stuff is expensive and a PITA to fix. A friend of mine just got a suspension job on an SL and it was $13k.

Thanks for all of the comments guys.

Same here, I run 20x11 et 45 on 305's dropped and zero rubbing. And I could have run an et 40.
