daygo: I ran the numbers, the SC430 can really only take a 3.5" lip on the rear with HRE's. Fortunately, we make a 20x3.5" outer lip.

This would require cutting the axle "stub" about flush with the axle nut- otherwise, the center caps won't fit. If you run a 285/30zr20 on the rear, it will be stretched on the wheel, and will likely not rub at all unless the car is really slammed.

Unfortunately, nobody makes a 295/30-20... a 305/25-20 would be great, too, but no such luck. A 20x10.5 with a 3.5" lip and 285/30zr20 would be do-able with no mods...

Bob- Thanks for the HRE info. 20x10.5 with a 3.4" lip would be sweet!

Peter- The new pics look great!

If anyone knows Benz owners, I have another used set (same specs) for Mercedes E Class 96-02 only (W210, non-AMG cars) for sale. Wheels are silver with polish lip, no tires. It is an indentical set to the ones on my car, it is the one used on the Tokyo Auto Salon and Osaka AutoMesse show car. specs are:

F 19x9.0+29L 5:112/CB66.56
R 19x10.5+29L 5:112/CB66.56

Price is 2500 firm. Wheels are mint and have less than 100 miles.

Let me know if anyone's interested...thanks!!!

Peter will a 19" setup like yours work on a SC400? I'd love to see a Phat lip like that on my "beater"!

Alex, I could do a 19x10.5 or 19x10 +42 which will yield an 88mm lip (3.5"). Because the face is flat, you can't get 4" on this wheel like you could on the Zauber Gettin (where the spokes bow in) in that offset. You'd have to do some fender mods (obviously) and run a 275/30/19.

Thanks Peter! Hmmm...3.5" lip would be sweet...just like my SC430! Just don't know how the Magnifiques would look like on a SC400 though. I know it looks good on the SC430 and 20" Indicators look awesome on the SC400 too!
