Did your rear lip turn out to be 4.5"?

Cool... I have a call into my dealer. I just had the car aligned last week too.... apparently they didn't do that good of a job.
Do you have a picture?

Yes...remove yellow strips and tinting is a must !!!
Any news regarding offset ???
If you going to call Wheel botuque, please ask about what offset is best for Lowered E55 (Carlsson module simular to yours) with 19x10 with 285/30 rears ???
Thanks
Vic is you rear 19x10 or 19x9.5...if its 19x10 why didnt you go for 285/30 rears ???

I assume with lowering module you were told that 285/30 would RUB ??? or not for certain...

Lowering is lowering, it depends on how low you go....I cant tell for sure based on those angles.

don't know why people have such a fixation for black or dark wheels ... they just look like spares tires to me 
.. but hey, everyone has their own taste ... if you're happy, that's all that matters

Looks good Josh, although I don't think I would have gone 20". Guess that's for the "younger set". Guess i'm just getting old!! Besides, they'd last about 5 minutes with the roads around here.
Still is very weird to see my car LOL!!

Black wheels are like sex on the beach...lol! I am looking for a white E55, still deciding whether I should go new or buy used since the E63 is out already. Whatever I decide to buy will be white with pano and the first thing I am doing is slamming a pair of Black wheels.
