lots of cars
I know I saw a single one in chrome at a tire shop maybe they still have it?? I know who has a set in chrome with the 28mm offset. Im selling mine because they are 11mm but they have minor curb rash but as you can see in the pic you can polish it out easy.

lol. Alon, ever since you installed the new struts in the front, the car looks higher. I wish I can obtain that level height but I can't unless switch out the vogtlands.

well i rolled the fenders to 90 degrees.
no way you can get a 235 40 18 with a 35 offset to fit in the front of that biach. a 17 inch rim will fit it. i tryed it all. you can fender washer alllll you want it aint gonna fit. i chunked up this brand new tire. i will report back on a 225 40 18. dunno if that will fit either.

Chris D,
I will post the pick as soon as I get the bumper installed. I hope to have it done next month. If anyone knows where to get the foglights for the GEN II AMG bumper I would appreciate it. Can be used. Or are there other lights that would fit? Maybe from a C43?

chris what spring pads are you using?
I have 2 bump front and 3 bump rear on the neuspeed (H&R) springs I have.
I am going to probably switch the front out to a 1 bump to see how it looks. should drop the front slightly.
I still have yet to roll the front fenders. I havent had the car for lke 6 weeks so when I finally do get it back, I will be rolling the fronts.
THe car only seems a light bit higher with the new shocks/struts, like maybe 1/2" if that. Still works for me.

Alon,
I'm using bump 5 (I think the max I can go) in the front and I believe 2 in the rear. I still need to roll my fenders out some more according to that AMG Manual we have. Let's get together and have a fun fender rolling day! lol

AMG Eric what tire did you end up getting and does it rub? My car is not that low anymore since i installed new shocks so it's higher. I was thinking 225/35 18 or 215/40 18?

Im just worried because my car most of the time is empty but with my kid and all my wifes crap i don't want it to rub like crazy that's why i say 225 35 with a smaller side wall or 215 40 and stretch it out.
