Cedric,

The best thing to do is to call Vince at Iforged direct and tell him what you want to do...then tell him you will pay cash for the deal to so that he does not send you to a dealer of his wheels. Cash only. This is the only way you will get what you want for the right price. Because once you try to go with custom sizes and offsets you will be ripped off by his distributors.

My Radenergie R10 20x10 had an offset of 31mm. I had to shave 3mm off the wheel and still had problems running 285/25/10 Falken FK452 tires. Only after some aggressive rolling of the fenders did it fit.

Cedric,

You should follow Joe ( vegastrashed ) advise because his E63's look is what I think you should try to achieve.

And like he said....aggressive fender rolling is the only way you will achieve an aggressive fit....that's what I did also.

Do some checking around on Iforged also. Have read of more than one instance with serious issues regarding quality control. For the price of Iforged, you can usually get DPEs or even slightly used HREs.

Air Intake?

wow, cool video.

Also I was checking this ebay seller "gr8truth2z"
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230272671096&ssPageNam e=ADME:RTQ:MOTORS:1123

He is selling this Air intake. Then I ask him how do you install this thing on the new E63 AMG engine, he said " Also the E 63 & Kompressor have the same Body
so these are the correct pipes & connectors for the E63. I can
forward some photo's to help persuade you. If you are ready
with CASH, I can send an installer to you by the end of the week. "

I wonder if this will improve or gain any HP. Does anyone know?

Cedric,

Honestly...This intake looks like all it will do is suck in hot air from your engine bay and you will lose HP.

If you really want to go wide and very aggressive like my set up we need to meet up so I can connect you with a guy who will help you because aggressive fender rolling may not be what you need or want, you will need your fenders flared and pulled to achieve the look I know you want. This guy I know will probably charge you $300 to do both rear fenders to your taste but you need the wheels first so he can work around them to make them fit.

Got a reply from iforged. He said for the following wheel 20". If I can flare out each side 2" inches I can get 6" rear lip.

If this is so then we can talk to my guy and tell him what you want to do, but he likes to work with a wheel already on the car so he can make it work with no issues the first time. You would have to buy the wheels first and go to him with the wheels and have him do the job, I'm sure it would look incredible.

I'm thinking about going wider also, so maybe we can get a small group discount.

I want to go 1 1/2" wider but I don't know if my fender will go any wider. I want to ask him.

Hey Cedric1031,

I'm new to the forum and just became a sponsor. Just wanted to let you know we did an 06 E63 AMG not long ago with our split-5 CO1 model. You can check it out in our Lounge section www.bredenforged.wordpress.com. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see the E63. The fitments we did was 20"x8.5" (f) and 20x10" (r) because the customer didn't want to roll his fenders. You can get an extra .5" by rolling them and more if you flare.

We also have a similar wheel to the IMOLA which is our CO4. You can see that at our main website www.bredenforged.com. I haven't had a chance to upload CO4 pics to the lounge yet, but have some if you want to see samples.

Also you can choose the Reversed Rivet concept with all our models.

Let me know what you think. ec
