Default rims,tires?

I have a 02 s type 4.0 and i was wondering if anyone had some pics of rims they have on theirs? I dont want to go any bigger than 19's and i am looking for the more sporty type rims more less than the blingin rims...i was hoping to drop 19's on it and get the lowering springs from mina gallery to tuck the wheels a little bit...any input would be appreciated.

Should give you an idea of different rims on the car. however all seem to have bling rims.

For S-types, Avarus makes real nice rims at an affordable price.

Yes, if you run the same size front and back. I have 19x10 at the rear to keep the staggered fitment that came with the STR.

The roof spoiler is amazing on both the x-type and s-type. I have one on mine as well.

That is the correct size on the OEM STR wheels. I upgraded to 19x8.5 and 19x10.

I Called www.superbuytires.com today I was wrong!!

03JagSTR was correct, you can put staggared fit on all s-types!!!! Reguardless of 3.0, 4.0, 4.0 Sport, R, and Diesel!!!!!


I want to get new Asanti rims with 19x10 ponto!!!!]]

They said the most common staggered fit is on S class Benzes and all BMWs

Aquill, that is really cool! That car is sick!

I live the Axis Hiro rims, they are kind of similar to the styles listed here. HP racing makes the EVO which is kind of like a mesh rim, I like them too!
