Saridi and zaint10, both your rides are beautiful, almost made me regret not getting graphite, zaint10, that lip you have there is tasty, if I wasn't a couple of millimeters from scratching my driveway, I would definately get it. My front doesn't rub but my rear does a little. Now, it seems like my rears settled more and is a little lower so it tends to rub more than before, I'm getting my fenders rolled tomorrow. That should fix it.

Your car looks great. Luv your Kleemann lip and HRE rims. They look HOT.

Still no rubbing, except minor rub on the inner fender when doing full left or right turns. Seems DPE+Toyo did the right job to get the perfect offset and round sidewall

So I guess precious offset is the key to lowering huh? In case of rubbing what are the possible damages?

Depending on where it rubs, it may shorten the life of your tires, causing premature worn and rust to your fender. In some serious cases, it may dent or bent your fender, hitting the suspension, or damage your rims

2006 SLK280
Hi Bonbkk,

Whats the offset on your setup and are you using spacers? Is there any rubbing? Im looking at the same setup but I dont want to use spacers.

Also reading the thread it looks like we cant use the original stock lug nuts for aftermarket rims? is that correct and we have to get conical ones.

Thanks

Catch me quick!

I realised long ago that the driver is more important than the car. At this official AMG track day in May 2005 the instructors were driving standard MB cars. All the participants in AMG cars were struggling to keep up, in this case with a standard SLK350.

I think you can get a R170 or a SL antenna for about $50....

Call your dealer, it should be around $55 for the r170 antenna, do a search for short antenna for the part number.
