I didn't measure before but the fender now sits at 31" front and 30.5" rear.

Have smaller wheels and taller sidewalls sure helps

Can't wait to rid myself of the RFT's and put the Michelins or the DWS's non RFTs on.

Would love for someone to make a replica 214 wheel in 21 inch. Can't get into the 215's yet. Although in ferric grey it does look good.

They don't seem to come in staggered anyways. That's a no go. 22x10 only.

Yea compared to my e55amg and e60 m5 they sure do. No way in hell I'm upgrading to a bbk on this thing though it barely moves out of its own way lol

But this style wheel definitely leaves the most open space inside. When I have my deep lipped 22's on it hides it much more since they never look as large as a flat faced wheel
