I agree. The red "x"s definitely bring the personality of the car.

They are HRE 547Rs, Charcoal centers, 19x9 & 19X10.5 with 245/35 and 275/30 PS2s. The 19s tightened up handling somewhat, the steering feels a bit more responsive, perhaps due to the stiffer sidewall and PS2s in general (vs. stock Contis).

Any reason why you opted for a 19x10.5 in the rear instead of the usual 19x10 or 19x9.5?

Do you have to roll you fender with 10.5 on the rear?

What is the final offset you guys are running (with spacers, if any) to fill the wheel well so nicely? I love it!! My CLS rear rims have an ET of 29. They are almost perfect for 285s, but I was hoping to get the numbers for 295s.

Answers and another pic...

tigger - I did not have to roll the fenders to fit the 10.5 rears.

Rock - Got the flat hood AMG emblem, just haven't put it on yet (looking for a how-to post for it)

Jangy - Don't know the offset. Neal @ Euroteck Motorsports did all the specs. The rears have a 4" lip. Fronts are 1.5".

Hope that helps! Here's another shot.


Cheers,

Ryan
