Nice car, I have a similar car & similar wheel setup & I'm also 4x4'ing lol. Maybe we can get a group buy going?

I would like to retain some comfort, put on a bit more meat, and minimize wheel gap. Any recommendations on tire brand and setup? Should the setup include suspension at the same time? Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
4x4 r us should be the group.. LOl..Watch when you lower it how it changed the whole look of the car ,night and day plus no less body roll and better handling
Any opinions on the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S vs Hankook V12 EVO2 with respect to fitment, road noise, etc.? Sizes being considered are 305/25 and 255/30.

I know what you're saying........and have heard and SEEN it, and you're spot on! Without a doubt! Just not for me......but it does look killer. Maybe Rock has some old pics of his
Helly Nice rides... I don't have a w218, I have a slightly lowered w219, 2011 CLS 550 sport.. I have 305/25/20 on a 20x11 on the rear and I'm not happy. I thought it would look allot wider but I wasn't sure if a 315/25 would make a real difference and I thought a 325/25 would be too wide and would rub. You guys are giving me hope...lol

I almost bought a 2011 too, but ended up with a W212 at that point. Feel free to throw up some pics! The new AMG GT's have 325 in the rear
Not a fan of that AMG badge on the back but I understand dealers were slapping those on the cars left and right.
Yeah, it came with amg everything, wheels, tail pipe tips, even the radio says amg when turning it on, but it’s cool. I didn’t know the amg models has only 2 numbers 55 and 63. The funny thing is on the 2011, when searching, they show the w218, which confused the hell out of me. But I wanted the last year of the w219 with the newer taillights and mirrors. The W218 is nice but I never liked the rear, the front is awesome. I could have gotten either but I chose the w219 and it had only 38k on it. I’m at 50k now but the rear wheel thing is one that bothers me, because it’s not what I was expecting. Guys were telling me go with a 285 or 295 on a 10.5 rim. I went 11 on the rim and 305 and I’m still not happy. I’m not sure if the 315 will make the difference I’m looking for... I believe the 325 would, but not sure if it will fit...
Another thing I wanted to do is get a 5bar rim and go deep concave on all 4 wheels. Vossen wheels do the custom concave offsets, but your gonna pay through the *** for them starting at $1,800 per wheel and up... I don’t want the look that bad... lol
awesome, it's you and TheRicker for the widest thus far
thanx for posting
Very Nice. I'm very close to taking that chance on the 315.. I noticed that Michelin 305 looks wider then the Pirelli and the toyo's… I wish I could find a place that would let me try them on without buying them...lol
Setup:
Vossen CV5
20x9 +25 front
20x10.5 +45 rear (via starting with off the shelf +42 from vossen and shaving it 3mm)
Toyo T1r 315/25/20 in rear
Wow, that 315 is nice.... Very Nice. I'm very close to taking that chance on the 315.. I noticed that Michelin 305 looks wider then the Pirelli and the toyo's… I wish I could find a place that would let me try them on without buying them...lol
