Did they put a 4x4 under your car between the frame and the lift? Is that OK? I always thought you were supposed to lift the car at the jack points so you don't bend any metal work under the car.

Yes. They always do it like that and no issues.

No electronically. Have no springs here. Just spoke about that in another thread. US cars have springs all around

Nice! Are those the Rohana wheels I keep seeing?

What are your specs? Tire sizes?

Ironically.... I already bought tires, TPM sensors, and ABM drop links... but I still haven't made an official decision on which wheels I want. I know I'm going with a 22x10.5 and 22x12.... just havent chosen the acttual wheel yet.

Nice. I would have thought that a 315 would look "stretched" on an 11.5 wheel. Yours doesn't. It looks good.

I went full monty.... 335/25 in the back, and 295/30 up front. Should provide the "beefy" look I'm going for.

I thought that as well until I mounted 295s on a 11.5" on my glc63 and it looked also not to stretched

See pix

It's never wrong to go with a beefy look on a suv😬

Those look a little stretched.... not nearly as much as I would have thought though.

I'm keeping my OEM 21s as winter wheels (I put all seasons on them when I first bought the car).... so for my Summer wheels, I'm going all out. I like the old school beefy look. 335s on 12s, and 295s on 10.5s.

Tires, TPMs, and ABM links already here..... ordering the wheels very soon.

Turned out good, will look great lowered.
Do you know if the Rohana's will take a factory center cap?
