    I'm torn on what to do about the reverse rake. Since my gas tank is so huge it fluctuates how much the rear squats.

    Let me hear your thoughts.

    1) Lower fronts more? I scrub already but barely on turns. Spring gets loose when the car is raised.

    2) Raise the rear to reduce the reverse rake when loaded?

    3) leave it alone and remove the spare tire... Won't fit on the car at the moment anyways....
    Picture below is with a full tank of gas.

    if you go to 17's I love the amg 3 piece aero's..yes, lot of w124 with them, but looks great imo..oz futura are also a good option.

    in 18" I like the carlsson's 3/6, 8,5 and 10"
    Gotcha, yea 17s would be good too. I might stick to 18s since that's how my car is set up on.

    the solution to have the rear poke is these, these are my last wheels, I've allready sold them... Aero II with 9,75"

    I'm going to stick to 18s, but 17s aren't out of the question.

    Where did you get your wheels expanded from?

    Daniel! I love the rolling shots! See you next weekend.

    Amgwheelwhore: thanks man. Look for new photos soon. I'm lower and tucking now... 8)

    I suffer from a disease called "yusolow"

    I'm way lower than what I originally intended...

    No poke, but pretty damn flush and static and no fender damage!. Can barely stick a card in there.
    Stuck in a spring pad but still rub the wells. Might just guess and play with some bump stops I have laying around.

    Now, Next I just need more aggressive wheels. Any suggestions?

    Just a little bit too dumped and static with an empty tank... 22 gallons of diesel to add.... A little bit of Cali rake also... Me thinks a 3 pad and 1 pad for the left and rear respectively to level it out and be able to get a full tank of gas without rub
