Hey guys I just wanted to share my 2011 SEMA build with you guys. I was going to do a “progress build” thread but just didn’t have enough time between kids and work.

I wanted to build an aggressive wheel combo with low offset and a lot of lip but you guys know you can’t squeeze much under our fenders so I did a custom flared and stretched set it. I wanted flares that were subtle that only a sharp eye would notice.


Lots of photos

Specs:
2007 E550

E63 Conversion
Front 20x10” 4” lip 30et 3 piece Aicona wheels
Rear 20x12” 6” lip 20et 3 piece Aicona wheels
Nitto Invo 245-30-20 front
Nitto Invo 295-25-20 Rear
Front JBT 15” 2 piece rotor with 8 piston calipers
Rear JBT 14” 2 piece rotor with 4 piston calipers
Custom Flared and stretched front and rear fenders
E63 Conversion
Custom AMG exhaust
Custom BASF paint job
Roof blacked out.

Metal work



Originally flared for 305-25-20

Fitting the 20X12.5" 20 offset show wheels

Show wheels tucked

Finally sprayed!!!

Exhaust development



15" 2 piece rotors with 8 pot calipers

Front brake and wheel combo

Rear brake and wheels combo. 6.5" lip!!!

My super aggressive show stance!

My Daily driven stance with 20X10" front 30 offset and 20X12 Rear 20 offset

The rear diffuser is a JL motorsports. I flat cleared it to give it the dry carbon look and I did the same to the front

I appreciate your opinion...I got a super deal on two sets of wheels and those were the best choices. They even let me play around with different wheel barrows and offsets to suit my needs so I couldnt pass up the deal.
