Looking good.
Did you choose your offsets or did Forgestars choose it for you?

All you have to do now is lower it and it'll look even better.
Where in SoCal are you?

Thanks man, I copied the offsets from someone with the F14's that posted in this thread. The specs are ForgeStar F14 Gunmetal, Front 19x8.5 et 32 Semi concave, Rears 19x10 et 35 super deep concave. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position's. 245/40 R19 in the Front and 285/35 R19 in the rear. Got the whole set up done for $2,100.

Before I had CLS offset wheels on it before and they rubbed like crazy. No rubbing issues with these so far.

I posted this on another thread, but could be helpful here too...

"This link below is the best thing I've found to compare tire/wheel sizes. This little app allows you to input the OEM wheel/tire size on the left and your new wheel/tire size on the right ... then it will tell you exactly what differences you will have with suspension clearance, fender clearance, wheelwell clearance, and speedometer changes. Gives you a good comfort level before pulling the trigger.

http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp

According to the owners manual (page 388) the OEM stock wheel for my W211 E550:

Front Wheel Specs: 18"x8.5", 38 offset and 5x112 bolt pattern
Rear Wheel Specs: 18"x9", 39 offset and 5x112 bolt pattern

The OEM stock tire is:

Front: 245/40-18
Rear: 265/35-18"

Those were my exact specs on my old Forgestars.
Wonder if the thread you saw was mine. LoL.

Just some 20x8.5/9.5 wheels off of a 2015 s550 that I picked up for dirt cheap. One of those "too good to pass up" offers that ended up looking a lot better than expected.

Stance at highest setting








*** Not 100% sure yet, but... I may be selling my wheels. I feel like creating another design and building another set. ***

Thanks guys! I hate to be a jerk, but I can't give out exact offsets. haha I feel that doing the research and measurements on your own help significantly with the final outcome of your build along with an appreciation of the work itself. I will however tell you that both the front and rear offsets are nearing the negative mark if that helps!
