I have the same wheels sitting in my garage waiting to get worked on and my fronts pretty much sit the same as your fronts. I was told I could run a bigger lip in the front since it's pretty sunk without a drop. I'd go for it, or maybe half an inch bigger. The rears are perfect though, what width are you running in the rear?

Also, you may want to check out mbjunkies.com. It's a more mod friendly forum.

Holy ****...I guess it is all about offsets. My rears are 20x11 right now but they stick out the fender more than an inch. I must have really low offsets on them.

Did you do any fender modifications?
