Ofset is verry wide, which I like. If you are standing behind the car, you can see the shine from the outer lip of the wheel protruding from the tire, just barely. Actually looks very clean with stock setup, although I will lower it an inch or so. Rear lip is not small by all means, about 3.25, 3.5" I'd say. That lip pic isnt good, lighting is off.

Update - I will be getting the car lowered tomorrow as well as refitment of the front wheels. This will be by neither the "washer" method nor with a tuner module. They are switching out some suspension links which are supposedly made by MB. They can adjust it to any height I want, and cost is a lot lower. Also, will be able to still lower the car and raise the car thru airmatic, and from what I'm told, maintain ride quality, as some modules have much harsher dampening. Will post more pics/details tomorrow.

Hey Brav-
I've got some questions about the mods you've done to your car maybe you could give some recommendations on local shops you trust with your ride.
I live in RSM you think I could get a look at your car in person? I am planing on picking up an '05 E-Class in the next couple of months and plan to drive it straight into the shop to get some mods done.
By the way I'm in the bussines too.I was at Argent for 2 years, New Century for 1 year and am now at a small Mom and Pop shop out of Temecula much better than the big companies at least so far.
email me, let me know..

Maybe tustin market place off jamboree, less crowded. I'm still at the shop in chino hills, will be done in an hour or so. so 4pm or 5pm, but by then will be dark. I live right there off jamboree, so anyone is welcome to come see if there is no formal meet. whoever is interested, please post and ill try to make it back by 4.

Brav,
Can't wait to see pics after the rims and lowering kits are slapped on. Are you getting the TWS lowering brackets? Could also you post more details about how much of a drop they are from stock, pricing, and where you're getting them installed? I'm using the washer method, which gives me a 2 finger gap. I want to go 1 finger all the way around. So far, your rims are nicely dialed in! Congrats!
