No, stock height only, the air suspension was slammed right after putting down from the lift, and the pic was taken as it was raising back up automatically, so it is slightly lower than what it sits now. The updated pics show how it sits now. I think the wheel gap is more or less like stock, so no plans to lower it yet.

Does anybody know if there are any issues with MB warranty when you put different than original size wheels/tires ?

Thanks.

If I knew the answer - I would not ask. I just changed original RF tires, which I hate, to 285/50R20 regular tires. The ride quality is much better, but I'm not sure what dealer will say if I will have some suspension problems in a future, which is not related to the tire size at all. They always can blame it on my tires. I think the time will tell.

It's 22x9. Its great with the Falkens, I just got back from Yosemite, and these 22s does great on snow/dirt/slopes. Not a single issue with traction at all.

Up in the snowy north certain dealers won't even service a car that has aftermarket, non spec wheels and/or tires. Same with certain tire dealers: they will verify AMG brand wheels - a spare set - before they will put tires on, if you have a real AMG. Too many failures given the configuration and loading I am told with "oem" AMG wheels for them to underwrite.

I'm glad you found a combo you are happy with. Don't be surprised if the if you have an issue with even a totally unrelated component thanks to the Joisy lawyers.
