Wife and I were out to dinner Saturday night (early Mother's Day celebration) and noticed a MB CL500
with wheels that had the wrong offsets for the car. The rear wheels were sticking out at least 0.5" beyond
the wheel well ... :lol: With all the recent discussion about wrong offsets, I just had to take these pics.

Check out the rear wheel :doh:

Put 20mm spacers on it and you've got yourself a tractor! :P
