Are saying that spacers were added to 20x8.5 et32 wheels (square front and rear), so that car now runs on 20x8.5 et17 front and 20x8.5 et12 rear? With 245/35-20 tires?
If yes to all above, did you install spacers first or lowered first? If former, what was the poke before lowering (it had to be considerable)?
Thank you!
First I lowered and got an alignment, afterwards I installed the spacers which was all on the stock rims.
After came the new rims and another alignment.

OK so the pictures on TSW 20x8.5 et32 wheels are without spacers, correct?
OK, so you are running 20x8.5 et17 front and 20x8.5 et12 rear! Amazing.
The reason I am saying this is when I tried 20x8.5 e18 (20x8.5 et38 wheels with 20mm spacers) with 245/35-20 tires upfront, my poke (please see the picture) was almost 15mm. The car (sedan, not coupe, but it really does not matter since both use identical wheels/tires with same stock look) was non lowered, but still.
Sorry to hijack your thread, just trying to understand. I know lower offsets are possible when car is lowered, but to hide almost 15mm poke? Amazing.
How did you tint your chrome strips around the windows? Car looks amazing btw!
thank you, I did a full chrome delete by having it wrapped in glossy black. Chrome delete was done on
-trim around windows
-front lip
-border around grille
-door handles
-rear diffuser

Looks nice. How's the ride quality? Handling change? Any concerns with stock struts going bad early? Thanks.
Handling actually improved significantly after lowering, alot more confidence on tight turns. Struts seem to be good in shape, already 2 years since lowering it
I have an e300 nightline on multispoke 20” alloys staggered fitting. Considering lowering Just wondering what the ride is like on your lowered springs
oh have you anymore pics thanks
