Makes me want new wheels now. Lol

Looks great!

AMGroach

Hmmmm. Crickets huh? Over 100 views and feedback from only 3 members. No bueno. I'm Ok with negative feedback as well so by all means please bash away. Anything to get some action on this board. Haha. Here are a few more pics I took.

Who would want to give negative feedback on your car lol. Looks great! Totally digging the color. Matches the blue window tint!

The wheels make the car look even better.

AdamHankin

The car and wheels look brilliant. Love that colour!

You've also convinced me I need the roof spoiler as well as the boot one!

Lakehouse

I feel the same way about my thread on my wheel color choice.

+1 on the roof spoiler. I like it. ALOT!!!

AdamHankin

Are these 20"?

AMGroach

Yep. 20's.

The blacked out chrome on the AMG badging looks really good with the color of your car. Wheels look awesome too, what size tires do you have?

AMGroach

Thanks for the compliments all. I'm really happy with them. I went with 295/25/20 rear and 255/30/20 up front. Next time I will go with a 305 rear.

Lakehouse

May be a dumb question but if your rears are 295 can you put 305's on the same rim?
Also, how does the rear roof spoiler attach? Hard to do?

AMGroach

Yes. Depending on the width of your rim you can choose how wide of a tire you would like to go with. I have 20x10.5 rim on rear so you could do anything from 285,295 or 305 tire. 295 is the recommended size but 305 is fine as well.

The roof spoiler is just installed with 3m heavy duty double stick tape that can be purchased from Home Depot

Thanks!

Love the wheels. Are these the ones that were up for sale by another member on here? I knew I should've pulled the trigger on them!

AMGroach

yes. those are the same ones that were in the forum classifieds. they were the ones that were mounted for a photo shoot and then taken off. Virtually Brand new. i was looking on ebay for some HRE's and saw he posted them there as well. Gave me an amazing deal. $1800 for a set of $7500 rims. i was ready to drop nearly 5x that for some HRE or ADVAN1. honestly, the best thing was i didn't have to wait 2 months for them to be built. i really have no patience when it comes to waiting for car parts.

Lakehouse

I have 255/30/20 on front. Can I run 255/25/20 on front to match the tire height of rears(295/25/20) or is that extra rubber needed for weight of engine, etc.?
Would be nice so I can get the front even lower.

AMGroach

You could but I wouldn't recommend it. The overall diameter and circumference would be quite a bit off versus stock specs and your speedometer reading would be off by 2-3 mph. The 30 series tire is what you want up front if you have 20" rims

Lakehouse

Ok. Saw this and got me wondering. Look at the 3rd down

Sorry to jack your thread. 😄

AMGroach

Haha. That's insane. 285/25/20 up front. Didn't even think it was possible. If you want to go lower, the right way is to drop your car with a lowering module and you can adjust how low you want to go front and rear. Going with a lower profile tire up front might get you closer to the ground but the gap in your wheel well will actually increase. IMO, Eliminating the gap in the wheel well is what gives cars that aggressive stance and that can only be achieved with a proper drop.

Lakehouse

Yeah I know. I got an elm going in next month, but with a lower profile tire up front I could drop it even more before the wheel wells hit the tires.

miromiro

perfect combo, wouldnt change a thing
