My News *Shoes* 20" Iforged
Hey guys

I got my iforged in from Carlabs a few weeksago but haven't been able to go put them on. There is a lil bit of rubbing. I need to raise my front end a lil bit. Taking a sharp left turn up my driveway, the tire caught my fender. I need to raise my front end a lil bit... These are quick pictures... I;ll post some nice ones soon......

Let me know your thoughts...

Oh by the way, if anyone wants to know they are Iforged 20's, Racing series, Equip model.....

245 in the front ad 275 in the rear........ Positive.... almost did some serous damage to my right front fender.....ill take pictures.....there is some rubbing when I cut the wheel all the way.....

Lowered the car via "shimmies". It was done by my dealership... The tech knew what he was doing.... he also lowered it via star.... I am going to raise it via star a lil bit.....


Thanks for the compliments....the rims are really nice....

nice setup! btw: it will probably take you a total of 10 mins to remove 1 of the "shimmies" or washers instead of dealing with the dealers to raise it up via star.

'03 G500, '13 G63, '17 GLS63,
What size are the front tires, 245/35/20fr, 275/30/20rr?? You would probably have no problems if you had gone with 245/30/20fr and 285/25/20rr to do it properly.

Thanks

The mb tech put "shimmies" in and also lowered via star. So its a bit lower than 1/2 inch.

Yes these rims are high polished. I was gonna go with a colored center but decided against it as the color of my car is a tough color to match....
