Some info on upgrades?????

Hello i just picked up an 05 E500 and i cant wait to start modding it as you can see in my sig im a benz addict and i love to mod the hell out of it. First question for those with this type of car experience which module should i get for lowering the car Reentech? or is there another brand or chiper way to go and about also can anyone tell me what is the most aggressive offset on wheels with out rubbing keep in mind is a 4matic, can someone clarify if i could get staggered set up?
thanks in advance

2005 E500 with 'some' BRABUS upgrades
I have the BRABUS module. Swapping out for the much better RENNTECH in a couple weeks I wouldn't run staggered wheels on a 4wd. But since you ain't going to be launching it I guess you will be ok. I would run the same width wheels all round so you can easily rotate them bad boys when you want to!

Thanks for your advice, i guess wheels with lips is a no no. I would get the Renntech lowering module then in a few weeks. Now I have to figured out some wheels for the car any advice on what wheels should i get for the car?

I don't know much about 4 matics but most 4wd don't run staggered wheels. Same size but then again I'm thinking about Evo's, STi's etc etc. I guess you could run staggered wheels and it wouldn't hurt the car but I would make sure first!

Just keep your mods clean...from seeing your CLK you know what you are doing and don't need any advice from me
