beautiful.
There is no way to sit that low with just shaved fenders, max.
The car has so much fabrications done to it, ie, cut the arch of the fenders and fender well mods so that it wouldn't rub.

^oh, i just don't like the look of the wheels. Spokes are too skinny for such a big car.

that red ls does look freakin' awesome, i think its just the overall image of the finished car though, like if i took those rims and put them on my car i don't think they would look to hot but on that red car the way it is modded looks really nice. and benz's have different bolt spacing than lex, so you can't put wheels that fit one on the other. i actually tried and it came really close, and i was able to actually mount them but it ended up messing up the benz's lugcentric lug things...

Sorry I don't know if we are talking about the same rim but I'm talkin about the five star wheel I posted at the top of the post sorry wasn't able to attach the picture I'm typing for a. G1 and seem to not know how to work the phone like that yet
......... also the wheels fitted a sc 400 and is sittin on a cl500 they might be the smae lug patern

stick with 20 or 21". The 22" is just going to be problematic and probably a touch to big. people always forget about the 21"
