20" AVUS Wheels on the Beast

My wheels arrived 1-day early and look great on the car. That being said, I think the front offset is wrong (5th picture below you can see what I'm talking about). I think it is the front offset that is wrong, but it can definitely be the rear. I'm not sweating it though, because I know that Ben over at Wheels Boutique will take care of it (this is the 3rd set I've bought from them). Let me know what you guys think. Here are the pics -

Looks nice. I'm still deciding on which wheels to get....... Thank goodness AMEX fixed the identity theft for me, so hopefully I'll be able to buy some nice rims soon.

killer set-up Josh!!! i like these black center wheels on the E55 compared to the black HRE on the C55.

BTW, have u gotten a chance to hit the strip yet? how does it feel compare to the C55 S7?

Looks good Josh. But i don't see anything wrong with the front et. I think i maybe just because of the front negative camber. Over all looks really good.

Time for me to visit vegas!!

very clean! Did that rear lip turn out to be 4.5"?

I think the front offset looks right...it's probably the camber.

No rubbing, but I imagine if I have passengers in the back it will probably rub. I have a 2 year old and a 9 month old, so I'm not really worrying about it.

Not sure on the offset. I'll check with Wheels Boutique today.

BTW -- Should I tint the windows???

Nice shoes.... time to get rid of those orange reflectors As for your offset I would like to see a closer pic of the front wheel. The 5th pic makes it seem like there is no lip or a very small one.

Take it to a good alignment shop (one who aligns lowered cars). Your local dealer may not be able to align it.

Did your rear lip turn out to be 4.5"?
