P.S. the money is in the pic to show a relative size of the MB star on the grill. I could have used a CD, but thought I would use a $100 instead.

Sorry to hear about your fitment problems. I'm not sure where you're planning to mount the green paper with the old guy's head on it, but you will definitely want to save those to cover upcoming costs related to the wheels.

PS. Do you know what the actual factory rim width is in the back? Is it 9.5"? The tires rub slightly the way it is so we were considering 255, but 245s IMO would be safer.

Blake P,
Thanks for the answer, hope the 9.5s with new tires fit.
On a more positive not, installed the grill today and the hood badge, looks good. Will post pics later. Got my son climbing all over me right now.

I was out taking a look at the inner fender wells and they are thin. Almost as if they were allready rolled. There does not seem to be alot of meat that could be taken care of. Looks like literally about 1/4" - 1/2", They allready roll up and it is just the fold. It would have to be cut out to gain any space. With people talking about chipping paint, Im not willing to go that route.

This may not make alot of sense, but it sounds like it is from the outside, it is a bit louder and sounds like it may be rubbing in the back side, where the rear bumper attaches, that is the part that seems to jut out the most.

On a side note, got my car tinted today, 50% all around except for the windshield. Its not as dark as I usually like, but Im sure it will grow on me. I wanted it to look good, not too ghetto. I was shooting for still kinda classy, and definately still see me inside when Im driving, lol. I've got to say though, these cars definately have some dark factory tint in the glass, the 50% looks darker than it does on most cars, which is also due to the all black interior
