Widest tire on an SLK55 AMG?
Hi, I wanted to know if anyone is running 265/35/18 at the rear. Im currently sitting on 265s, however, I feel like the rear rocks or drags a little when making sharp turns. Is this normal? I haven't driven any other slk55 to know the difference.
Thanks

I have seen others run that size tire, but not sure of offset being used or brand of tire. Since, all tires can be slightly different in height and width even with the same sidewall spec.

like Ppower says it probably depends on brand. I know falken and hankooks have round side walls so you can probably fit 265's or maybe 275's however if you have something squared then maybe its rubbing a little?
What brand of tires you running and are you lowered?
