911's and beyond
offset of the SL is diff from the w211 the largest you can fit is 285 in the rear with no Mods but you can get a 295 with minor mods 305 def will not go and the offset on the SL and CLS is apx 25-29et where as the E/S/CL is apx 35-42ish..

Tommy,

PM FlyByNight (Loren)...he has worked his rear fenders, but it is more involved than just rolling the fenders and about a 2K job. I PM'd him a couple of weeks ago and he will be posting pics of the work done when he gets a chance.

Based on his work, he mentioned he could fit 305's max.

Jon
