Wheel question
I need a little input from you guys. I have an 08 E350 sport and wanting to order new wheels. I'm gonna put niche targas on and I have the h&r springs ready to be put in. First I'm afraid of getting the 19s and not being completely happy with the fitment but I'm concerned over ride quality and any potential rubbing with being lowered on the 20s. Please help with any experience. Thanks.

a lot of people here would say 19 is perfect for the 211. although i dont disagree, im running on 20's but i couldnt be happier. lowered mine on H&R and I didnt like it (still too high) so I changed to coilovers. dropped without a fender gap and no rubbing whatsoever.

I ended up lowering mine on h&r and the only thing that could make me happier is the front being a little lower. Ride quality is the same and no rubbing. There is no rear fender gap but the front has about 1/2 an inch. Overall though pretty satisfied with it. Mine is a sport though so I don't know what the amount of drop is for a standard car with either of those kits.

i went with H&R before and dint give me that aggressive look i was looking for. it seems like the car is looking up when i see it from the side. no offense but wasted money imo. ended up with coilovers.

I have 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. Sorry but I forget the offset. I think 34 squared.

You can see the front needs to be a tiny bit lower and I have no idea why the forum turns my pictures to the side...sorry
