305 at the rears...not one has done that before here...

Infact 285 on 19's will rub with lowering module unless you use Et38 (none agressive offset)...

Thanks for the kind words guys..

The wheels are Lowenhart BR5 20x9 +38 and 20x10 +43. S Class application.
Tires are 255/30 and 305/25 Conti. We normally use them for SLs and CLSs.
As for the ride height: Brabus module + links.


I guess with these offsets we CAN run these bigger tires on our cars.
I am going to pull the wheels out to put Tire Pressure Monitors on today so, I will double check inside the wheel well to see there is no rub marks.



ThisFlyGuy: Thanks. Actually its the first set of wheels just powder coated the centers. Yeah, Jack Chew is our bad @ss alignment tech.Next time you come by I would like to check out your rides. Looks like you have some nice3 stuff on both of your cars.
