CLS550 & Vossen VFS-2 Photoshoot

Ordered Vossen VFS-2 from 3WD and got them 3-4 business days. Wanted to thank 3WD for all the expertise and for the excellent service provided. Also wanted to thank ACG automotive for installing my lowering module. Since today I had some spare time, I was able to do some photoshoot. What do you guys think?


UPDATE NEW PHOTO:

Thanks! I think you should take a risk because it changes the whole look of your car on a different level. Good luck!

Ended up with 255/30/20 front and 295/25/20 rear. I didn't take a chance with 305s since Vossen wheels also recommend 295s.

Hi Mike,

Can you please provide photos of this wheel on a 2011 Mecedes E350 ( W212 ).

Please also provide commended wheel/tire/offset/spacer recommendation.

Finally, please quote your best price base on your recommendation specs. I live in LA so shipping is not necessary. Thanks much. David

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm close to purchasing the same exterior combo and am researching lowering and wheels / offsets. It's a bit different than my CLK500, but with this CLS550 I know you have;

F : 20x9 +25
B : 20x10.5 +42

Sitting on 255/30/20
And 295/25/20 in the rear.

Only questions are;

-What is your front and rear drop specs you used on your LoMo? I may go links I'm thinking.
-Also, needed any additional spacers or offset came that way? Looks perfectly flush.
-Assume no rubbing on turns or dips?


Thanks!
Angelo

- Since it was an air suspension set up, I was able to change the settings through my dashboard controllers. My settings varied and I can't really remember the exact specs since I changed it several times.

- No additional spacers needed. The wheels were mounted on the car and that was it.

- No rubbing on turns or dips.

Hi, I'm trying to get the same wheel sizes for my CLS, but I was told that 25s on the rear would be not only too thin, but also unsafe, due to the weight of the car, and that I would probably have to buy new ones pretty often. What has your experience been with them? Should I go with a 30s instead?

We recommend with this setup the 25 series tire in the rear. After research we've come to the conclusion with this offset and width it would be the best fit tire size. It will be safe to drive.
