Oh yes, the photo was taken with a Nokia N80.. and the mobile phones are not "good photografic cameras"
. I took the photo and that appear like that .I have more photos in my PC, for the rear and interior. I only insert that, because is an exemplificative photo and the most recent
If you want I can insert the photos

unfortunately, the rear being 245 sticks out about an inch, maybe a tad more... so we have rub-age over bumps... so far my only thoughts on how to cure that have been smaller wheels (ie find another pair like the front and have 225 all around), find someone to machine the backside of the rears to get the proper spacing, or try to roll and pull the rear fenders, which i think would look awesome but i dont know if is even possible... suggestions welcome!

Awesome thread, he are some of my 500, just got those mono blocks a few months ago. Good to finally have some decent sized rubber on the car. That autoX pic is at a BMWSCCA event, showin' 'em how we do it, the only Benz there haha.

Mbenz WHAT! I was the second benz at the AutoX meet I went to, a 2005 e320 CDI being the only other. I did damned good considering
Very nice 500e, how fun was it to throw around the cones?

For being 16 years old and a massive 4000lbs I was running mid 56 seconds and there was a 6.0 GTO running 55's (everything else was like mini's, M3's, and roadsters so nothing to compare to but the GTO). So for my first autoX in the thing it was good, after the tires got hot, then too hot all it wanted to do was slide around the track, but now with the aero II's I think it will be a little better :P. Me and ATL_S124 are going to raid the next BMW autoX I think....

A little photoshop in head lights ( turn signals )
What looks better? orange (original that I have at the moment) turn signals or white/transparent ?. I preefer US turn signals, but here in Europe is difficult to find that so if I change is to White turn signals

to be honest I do not actually know the dimensions of these wheels other than the tire sizes (which I just assumed whatever was on the C-Class I got them off should fit), so all I know is the wheels are 17x? in the front and 17x? in the rear with a ?? offset... very frustrating I know 
... But obviously the offset is not the correct offset in the rear or i wouldnt have rubbing... Ive been searching high and low online to see if I can find the measurements of these wheels but so far have been extremely unsuccessful... can you roll the fenders on a Wagon??

... also it depends quite heavily on your car's color theme...

And yes, the wagon fenders can be rolled.
