Nice car. They look big because the tires are a tad tall, 30 in front and 25 in rear looks better but you have some more win with potholes

Yeah i didn't go 30-25 because of load index (and potholes). Even though that would have kept the correct overall diameter.

Those are the wheels i have sitting here waiting for my new rear tires!

I bent one of my current ones & these were to cheap to pass up.

Glad to see how good they look.

No rubbing whatsoever. I'm sure the speedo is off 1-2 mph...

I see you got the wheels! Do they have the AMG logo or is it the shaved one? The wheels look really big but, nice.

If you lower it, you may have rubbing issues in the front, depending on the wheel offset. I had the same size tires on my old wheels and, in Sport II at stock ride height, they nicked the inner fender in the front under hard cornering.

how did you end up bending a wheel? I assume you aren't gonna attempt repair. What size tire were you running?

I just picked up a set of monarch euro63. The felt rather heavy ans sturdy but I still question how much abuse they can tolerate.

Your speedo is going to be off, because of the wrong overall diameter. Keep that in mind when you see the police tailing you.
