Few Pics of E55 AMG on 20's

Hey guys, after 3 months I finally got the 20" iForged Essen on my car. Triple black. I think that I still need to lower the front a small amount, so anyone in chicagoland with star please let me know if you can help. Sorry for the crappy iphone pics. Better ones to come after I detail her...enjoy.

What size tires are you running? The fronts look tall. Maybe it's just the drop that's needed, though.....

P.S. iForged brotha

If the fronts are 245/35, then you've got the wrong size. You should be running a 245/30 with a 285/25. Your front tire is 1.2" taller than your rear tire.

Wheels look good, though.

Hmmmm....this is probably my problem...ill prolly just leave them for the summer then switch them out in the spring. Ill try to lower the front a bit too for now to close that gap. Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

actually i was wrong on the tire size...what happened was I was going to go with 255/30 and 295/25...well the rears didnt fit and I just replaced the rear with 285/25 and left the fronts at 255/30 for the rest of the summer.

Looks great.
Do you have a pic that shows how flush it sits to the fender?
Also what width/offset did you go with? Judging by the tires,
20x9, 20x10?

Thanks, man. Im not really a chrome guy, so it was either brushed or black. I just thought black went well with the cars color and the black accents I have on the mirrors and tail lights.

That's good to hear then. It'll most likely look a great deal different after you lower the front some more.

I'm also a tad jealous of your flint grey. That was my first color choice.
