19" on sport suspension.

I just ordered a set of 19" for my 2012 E350 sedan. I have the sport suspension. Does anyone have any pics of this setup WITHOUT lowering springs? I'd like to see what it looks like and if I should order springs as well. Thank you.

Here they are. Didn't get a chance to clean them up yet. How's it look? Keep height or springs?



Two fingers all around.

Those are nice. Looks like a pretty aggressive offset in the rear. Not sure I would lower it, but hey it’s your baby.

I may be missing something, but with black rims, a casual observer has no visual reference to tell if the car is lowered or not (compared with bright Alum. wheels that offer visual contrast). That said, I think your existing wheel clearances are fine as is... you mentioned having the sport suspension, so if it's like my 2016 Sport, the suspension is already lowered a bit. But it's your call.

I think the reason they look aggressive is because of the dust from the road. Maybe the concave too maybe. They actually are just about flush with zero poke. Thank you for the comments.

I 2nd this. Since everything is so black, there will be no difference to the observer. Lowering springs paired with the lower profile tires will surely make the ride very harsh.

It's actually laminx. It's the precut kit, since I did it the heat has shrunk it a lil bit. If I do it again I'll get it in sheet form so I can adjust to the shrinking. Thank you.
