AHAH... no more engine work, i've concluded that our cars (excluding 350 and AMG models) are simply slow.

Here you go. They're just reps. Actual CLS won't fit due to offset. However, i had to do some modification inside the fender to make these fit since i was too stubborn to raise the car. 19 x 8.5 fronts and 19 x 9.5 rears. Running 235/35-19 fronts and 245/35-19 rears. Debating to sell these and go for 18s, not certain yet.
