here is a pic anyway, though its not the greatest. I still have to lower it, I have Eibach springs and Bilstein shocks ready to be installed. I just have to find a mechanic in the town I just moved to.


They actually look better than I thought. I prefer big face black with chrome lip but yours look awesome. I think 22's are nice on MLs. (depending on the type of rims).
thanks, I got those a few years ago and I love them. i have always wanted to lower my ML, but just didnt think I needed it.

Try AMG Performance as well in downtown Vancouver. I'm sure they would do something like that.

go with the 24"s.i have a ml with 255/30/24 it rides great but the tires are a lil to small 4 me.i thought about lowering it but with it being all wheel drive its cheaper and wiser just to get bigger tires.

The drop was dramatic, but I'm still left with at least 1"+ fender gap. It's probably the best compromise of suspension travel/wheel clearance and looks. As for ride, yes it's tolerable and no, nothing's gone wrong yet.

I dont care what any one says, I think BENZRIDA's benz looks awesome.

regardless of the ride height or wheel fender gap. That thing will turn heads in a good way.

dont know why people hate on the big rims

Never understood why the W163's came stock with 16's..Should have had factory 19's at least.

Because it's a truck first... At least MY02+ gets standard 17".

Hmmm...sorry to be so blunt Benzrida, but I'm not feeling it.

You need dished wheels, minus the chrome and a drop to make it look good.

So, Imeet, did you ever get to install those 24s and where are the pics? How much drop were you able to get. I hope we didn't discourage you? That really wasn't the intent. It's an internet forum and all we do is express our opinions. Sometimes it could hurt those with thin skins, but it's just a discussion forum, that's it!
