Beautiful. Car is clearly lowered. What are the wheels' width(s) and offset(s).

Thanks. Its not lowered actually, sport setting only. Contemplating lowering it with the module.

Wheels are 22x10 ET 35
Tires are 285/35/R22 Goodyear Eagle F1

Wheels are on the low offset so they poke a little too much. I may look into getting the AMG fender flares or a higher offset wheel to achieve the flush look

Yes AMG fender flares will cover the poke. I suppose the angles of photos fooled me. The front passenger wheel in the second picture looks lowered and perfectly flush. However, in the third picture the front driver side wheel shows the poke and reveals wheel gap not apparent in the second picture.

Hey mods, can we not make this a sticky? We all have to go searching for this picture thread and most other sections have a picture sticky. Help us out!
Anyone know the mod for this section?

@speedlimit 9-19-2021 update. Please!

This deserves its own thread! Many members here were interested in installing ML/GLE 63 brakes on lesser models.

Other than the obvious from the post and the pictures above - calipers, rotors and pads - what else, if anything, was required? (Caliper support, spindle, hub/bearing, backing plate, etc. TIA).

I didn't know there was that much interest. I can certainly put together all the info on the parts used including part numbers and do a separate thread.

While listing all required part numbers would be super helpful, just stating which parts (if any) other than calipers, rotors and pads were needed to be changed for the upgrade is good enough.

EDIT: I have done the conversion. Following is the link with ALL part numbers required: https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...ml#post8495771

Might not be everyone's cup of tea but I like it. This is just a Brabus replica - fitment was pure BS! Spent hours trying to get it the tips mounted correctly. And yes, I kept my tow hook there in case I decide to remove the diffuser and go back to OEM. Waiting for my front lip to be delivered and then getting 22" wheels.

Outside: Grille swap and lowered with MWMods OBD lowering module.
Inside: MWMods module to turn off the Auto start/start and the rear seat belt nag.




Next, wheel spacers. Maybe 30mm all round, but I need to do some more measurements. Wheels are stock 21".
