Mercedes Benz AMG GTS Edition1 on ADV5.2 Track Spec Competition Series | Two wrongs d

With the new Mercedes AMG GTS recently hitting the marketplace, it was inevitable folks would start modding them. After witnessing a couple others attempts at wheel/tire size selections we decided to snap up a GTS Edition1 for ourselves to showcase the proper wheel fitment and tire size selection for the most aggressive setup possible without wheel poke and tire rubbing. But, nailing diameter, width and offset is just part of the battle. Tire size and lowering are just as critical and for that we leaned on Pirelli and sized the 20"x9.5" with 265/30/20 P-Zero and the 21"x12" rears with pavement searing 325/25/21 P-Zeros. To get the AMG down to earth we sourced a set of lowering springs that allowed us to get the car sitting nicely over the tires and avoiding the ever disappointing sidewall erasing tire rub.​ We hope our example showcases what our experts are capable of when you absolutely have to have the best fitting wheels and tires on the market!

Specs:

20x9.5
21x12

265/30/20
325/25/21

I asked your other sign on name the same question in the lease post below. I test drove the car and enjoyed it a lot but it does sit rather high. Did you cut the springs as I don't see any available products?

thanks but we all know that doesn't answer the question... kind of like my GF texting me "I just took the pregnancy test..." and then crickets


Let me know if you are willing to share the model that it replicates... thanks. (guessing SLS but it cant be optimal with the weight distribution all wrong in the GTS)

Looks cool, but looking at the wheel offset/height of the car it looks like it couldn't take a pothole without something breaking

Daily driven right now over all diameter is on point . Now when coil overs come out it will be ideal to get to this point of low and best ride quality.

I hear ya... its a hybrid approach but not a retail one at that.

Kinda like those guys were doing on the f80 m3; using F35 springs in the front and H&R f80's in the rear (or vice a versa)
