Check them out in 19" on this M3. Unfortunately, the 20" fitment has stepped-lips

ya these are 20's with step lip, they only come in step lip with 20's no reverse lip unless you do 19's and under on these...so sad but the step on these actually looks very nice..

i thought these could only get a 2.5 lip max...? thiese seem much bigger like 3 or 3.5... can anyone explain...u think this car has some crazy offset? i am VERY interested in these wheel as derrick knows....

the only thing i dont really like is the grille...i would do a JP grille and no chrome on the pillars...i dont think it looks like a benz except for the grille which is a $300-$800 mod to fix...i would put this GS at my personal top 3 favorites...

Ok guys here is thr situation. The Euroline series is availible in 20x8.5 / 9.5 /10.5 widths only. Because of the spoke design (concave face, with protruding spokes), the lips are small. The normal lip for a 20x9.5 with proper (bolt- on, no mods) specs for a GS is about 2.75".

Just eyballing this car, I would estimate it to be running a 20x8.5 with a offset in the 20s and stretched tires. Rear is most likely 20x9.5 with a offset in that same range, in order to get those lip sizes.

So is it doable? Sure it is, members such as Jtanoyo and Mcgong have demonstrated that it can be done repeatedly. Can you order them and bolt them on? No, there will be special offsets, stretched tires, camber tweaking, and fender modding involved.

So the ultimate decision lies with the potential buyer, tame lips sizes, or mild to moderate fender mods (as far as the WORK Euroline SL is concerned).

Those are actually Super Star's Leon Hardiritt Orden wheels... the originator of that new face design in Japan. They're available in a wider fitment range...
