I wish I had all the answers (offset, etc) but I don't... MBWerks.com in San Diego set them up for me. What I do know is that they're 19x8.5 and 19x10 w/ Michelin PS2 245/35-19 275/30-19. Ride quality isn't really effected. The car does seem to handle a bit better.

You are a master of understatement! White E55, no badges... very classy and incognito! You certainly have no self esteem issues - congratulations.

ChicagoE55,

Looks nice! It's kind of funny because even though those wheels are 19" your PS 2's making them look like 18"s. lol Nice setup up though! I've got the same wheels!

thanks but they are HRE 540R.

i'm not real happy with the tire's but will try some different on the next set.

will not plan on lowering the car just trying to fill it out with different tires.

The rear height looks fine with the 295/30/19 PS2, but the Front is a bit too high IMO. You could do the washers on the front sensors - 4 mm will be enough if you are not doing the rear. Front will drop 1/2" /13mm with 4mm washers.
What width are your tires and what offset? I am also considring the 295/30's.

Thanks again, Yes the rears do look ok but they rub when taking highspeed corners. I would love to lower the fronts just dont have the time to spend on them. 295 will fit with a different offset there is so much more room between the brakes and the wheel.

thanks again,

those wheels look SICK on your 55er. i think lowering the car and putting tints on the car would make it look even more aggressive.
