Lowering, Spacing and changing the wheels on my W213

[AMGeed]

Taken a second look at those alloys on the black E63.
I thought they were AMG/Brabus but not so sure now.
Neither made a 10 spoke 20" wheel for a w213 E63.
I think they are more than likely aftermarket rims.

Agreed, a nice set of alloys and lowered, can make pretty much any car look good. Always modified me cars, (Not always successfully, but mostly) and always will. If it's in ya blood, ya can't help it.

Exactly that, wheels and stance can make or break a car. I've always been into it too, my dad had a V8 twin turbo Renault Laguna with a roll cage in it that was on the cover of Max Power back in the good old days! He's known as the oldest boy racer in town he's back into hot rods now. The car world would be pretty boring if we was all like Keith!!

"I’d only go for a small spacer if needed, 20mm max...."

20mm MAX ! I don't know much about spacers , but 20 mm (40mm overall) sounds quite a lot to me ?

Happy to be educated.

Perfectly safe, I've had a few cars with spacers on. We put a 355 Ferrari bodytkit on Toyota MR2 a good few years ago now (a job at work might i add!) the spacers on that thing were crazy, they must have been at least 5 inches....each side!! Thats madness

hope that helps

Yes! Very much so and I agree it sits perfect. Just what i want from mine. How much did you drop that?
I looked up the lowering module and it was £550 so that kinda put me off considering it'd only lower the rear of the car! Links and springs sound good to me. The wagon is nice man, looks a nice height too. Is that a W213?

Cheers again guys

Wow well spotted! the mystery continues..........

If you decide to go with the rear lowering links I have a brand new unused set that will fit.
Same as these.

yep the "estate" is a w213 get the links off Roger (AMGeed) then all you have to do is get the springs.
