Looks ver sporty! We had the same setup on our SL but it was too low for my taste. We have a steeper driveway.

One recommendation; your stance looks uneven. The rears are too wide for the front. Not knowing your offsets I suggest using 15mm spacers for the front. The car will look better yet...
Do the rears rub?

They do not rub at all.

It looks uneven because the back is 21 inch rims and the front is 20 inch.

Cool. I was referring to the width of the stance, not the diameter. I am using AMG forged wheels (19" front/20" rear) but both have spacers to correct the offset. Your front tires look more inset than the rears. Spacers would push them out a bit...
