Been a while
Been a while since I posted.. Finally got around to installing the wheels I bought from someone on the MB....
I feel I may need to find a way to drop the car a bit. For now I am not hitting on every dip and bump on the road. I feel it is a step in the right direction but still have more work to do till I get the car to look how I want. Tell me what you think?

do you have a full side view shot with those wheels on?
... was contemplating on buying the same kind of wheels for quite some time (carlsson style wheels right?).

Yeah Ive been looking at these style wheels for a very long time. They are definitely one of my favorite types.
What are the sizes of tires and offset on the wheels please?

Which means he WILL be rubbing if he goes any lower. A big enough dip and theyll rub now.
Mainly on the plastic lower cladding area below the rear windows. I used to rub the metal hard until I rolled the fenders, the plastic still does on rare occasions. And my tire is an entire 1" smaller in diameter.
Any idea what the offset is?

Front: 225/40R18
Rear : 245/40R18
I was hitting and rubbing when I first installed them, I thought about spacers, but just bit the bullet and had them replace the rear shocks. Now it does not hit or rub. The ride is a lot better. I guess the 18 year old stock shocks had had it anyways. I think I may get the front done on the next pay check.
