^ I actually like the wheels too. Car would look a lot better with a drop though.

Photoshop lowering tells you very little about fitment, since it changes the camber/toe in real life.

I wasnt basing my clearance on photoshop drop obviously, I made notes of certain areas where the tires and wheels were close to at stock height and it leaves a lot more room than what I had in my 240 with these wheels before I dropped it, so I have something to reference it to.

Plus i did drive it briefly and couldnt here any sort of rubbing at full lock. I have three tire sizes to consider basically and they are 265/35 (pictured), 275/35 or 275/40.

Ideally l'd like to stay with 265/35 because I really like the bang for the buck value of the Federal SS595 tires I've come accustomed to over the last 9 months. in the other 275 sizes I may most likely try out the Sumitomo HTR ZII which seems similar to the federals in both price and tread design.

Wheel wise, Im leaning towards a "race" inspired 6/7 spoke design with a concave face, non staggered and near stock wheel weight with an increased foot print.
