Iforged Aero's. Staggered setting 19x8/19x10. Using Nitto Extremes, and running 275's for a change from 265's. As for other mods, just minor engine mods. intake/ecu. Have a few more mods on the way. The mod bug has started to bite again...

10 inch rears should fit with no problems at all. Every set of wheels I've had besides stocks have been a 10 inch rear. The main issues are getting the correct offset and tire size/shape. Currently I'm running 275's just to try them out, but I believe 265's are ideal. BTW, all AMG's come stock with rolled fenders.

The ride looks good. Did you install new springs? Your car definitely looks lowered, or it could just be the angle of the shot.

SICK! Most custom rim manufacturers dont give out the offsets to their wheels.

You are correct fellow dual board member. I will post more pics after new mods are installed.

I'll post the offsets to my other wheels tonight.

Thanks! We both got the Carlsson RS bumper right? We should have a little get together when both cars are done! I'll bring the 211 E55 out as well, with her new "shoes."

Yep I'm getting the Carlsson RS Bumper installed as we speak and will be ready to pick up from the shop this Saturday. I agree we should have a GTG in the Bay Area. W211 yeah... sounds like a photo shoot in the making!!! If the weather is nice this weekend I'll take pics. If you ever decide to get rid of those wheels give me a holla I've got dibs... lol

How big are the lips and will they clear 14" Brembo BBK in the front?

It should clear a BBK on the front. With my stock AMG brakes, there's still a good amount of space for a much larger caliper. It almost looks like it needs a BBK, but that will have to wait because I just got new pads and rotors all around. In the future I plan on either retrofitting 211 E55 brakes, or SLK55 brakes. BTW, the rear lip is a good three inches and thanks for all the complements!

very nice photo. Dark rims goes nice with dark colored exterior. I am not sure if it would look as good on a silver car.

I think Im gonna get a set of these with a chrome lip so I can finally put on my 14" brembo gran tursimo front brakes. I was also looking at the Work Equip wheels. Maybe Ill just upgrade to a 55, I dunno. Thanks for the help though. Times like this make me wish I had a BMW, they have SOOOOOOOOOOO many used rims for cheap.
