Is it worth it?
hey new 2 da fourm but have been lurking around alot...have a quick question...just got a new 04'e500 with sport pkg. also just got 20inch wheels on her...only problem the front bolt coming from the the camber is barely hitting it, but it hits it, the company that sold me the rims told me they would fit, i called him and asked what was up he said he runs into this all the time and just to shave the bolt? he told me i could exchange for 19 but is it worth it? any feed back is greatly appricated...
