Looks good but you need to drop the badboy asap.

Ummm... the car has perfect gap all around the wheel well (1-2cm tops). Unless you're confused and think that you drive an escallade, you want tires to perfectly match the contour of the wheel wells.

Let me illustrate:

Hotness:

some people would like 0 gap and closer to the ground, personal preference, dont have to be no escalade, gives it a meaner look.

I think it looks perfect the way it is....its kinda hard to tell in the pics but i can barely fit 2 fingers in between the fender and tires......i am kinda hesistant to drop my car cuz i had an Audi A4 which i lowered. It looked great sittin 1.3" lower and it drove amazingly crappy . I would hit a bump in the road and it would feel like I smacked a curb at 50 Mph!

haters crazy
Its all about personal preference. When you said you can barely fit two fingers between the tire and fender it made me laugh. I have less than a finger in the front and I love it. But to each his own. Oh yea, and I dont drive an escalade. And its more like 1 to 2 inch gap, not cm's.

those don't look staggered but i could be mistaken.

I had staggered VI reps on my old 430. here is the link to see how a staggered set looks on a CLK430 : http://www.benzworld.org/gallery/sho...81/ppuser/3494

here's a link to the first set of lorinser LM-1's i had on my car with a 19X10 in the rear.....check out that fat rear lip : http://www.benzworld.org/gallery/sho...85/ppuser/3494
