Mr.Gearhead

Hi everyone,
I finally decided on new wheels and tires for my 06 E350. Thanks to all the forum members that put up with my a88 with all the questions and classified offers. I swear I offered Josh five different times for his E55 wheels... I truly wanted BBS LM but in the end... couldn't part with the money...


All comments, likes, dislikes welcome. I like the wheels and tire combo a lot... although it does ride MUCH MUCH stiffer... which also leads me to wonder if I should drop it... I think it looks too high... enjoy!


The wheels are Luff M1
Front 19x8 235/35 Nitto 555
Rear 19x10.5 275/30 Nitto 555

Looks good but if you don't lower it I'm gonna come down there and shoot you in the face with a bazooka!

shouldnt ride all that rough...what pressure are you running front and rear

W211 Ryda

looks nice! BBS LMs and even the replicas look sweet on any car. Now lower that summa-bish like this ride!

Mr.Gearhead

Man.. this thing is slammed! What is this drop... like 8 inches.. ahhaahah

Tire pressure is 36lbs. It is not that I feel like I am riding on rocks... just the "grandma" feel from the 16's is GONE. No big deal because I love the wheels and tires.

Hey Bezn O... did you sell those friggin wheels yet? Bazooka huh? Where did you get your class 3 arms license? heheh... Don't hate cuz I didn't buy your wheels... hehehe...

Everyone that has asked what kind of wheels are they.. I say... BBS knock off.. hahaah... My whole package cost about what ONE BBS 19x10 wheel retails...

Going back to the drop... what is the best spring for our cars? What about drop measurements... 1 1/2- 2 ???? Also, I read on this forum some cars still ride higher in the front.. what is that all about???

thanks,
Anthony

NO!!!!

I haven't really been trying to sell them too hard. They're still sitting in my basement, in boxes waiting for their new home. Don't you need a set of winter wheels. Cmon, do it, you know you want to. I'll throw in a TMX Elmo for good measure!

are those exhaust tips or mufflers too? what kind?

Mr.Gearhead

The exhaust is just quad tips. I did not go cut the bumper route or install new mufflers. I got the idea from member "LionHead".

Here is the link. I think out of all the "tips"... these are the best looking and are very well made. Just bolt on... and go.

again... I like'em so it is more just a preference over the CTB route.
