It's not just the camber. Sure, it could just be on air bags and be lowered in that pic. Look at his tires though. Look how far the rim sticks out past the tire and how much the tires are stretched to even fit on the rim. Especially the rears. It looks stupid! And it's not safe, and it probably rides like crap too... the opposite of how a benz is supposed to ride.


edit: it's really simple people. A tire's only purpose is to provide grip on the road. If you want more grip, you get a wider tire and thereby a wider wheel if necessary. If you have a tire that's wide enough, you don't need a wheel that's way wider than needed to fit the tire on it. That's just adding a whole bunch of unnecessary unsprung weight that will negatively affect the vehicles performance and ride characteristics.
