thanks bro!

I thought the sidewall would be too thick vs. the rear which is running a 25 series. Thought it would look “weird”

Looks a bit weird with all that wheel poking out of the tyre to my eye. Are your sizes not out of kilter, (245/35/19 vs 305/25/20)?

One other thing, of the pics you posted, the lower most one that is showing the front of the car there is a piece of trim shaped almost like a trapezium on the bumper a few inches above the splitter - what is it?

Looks awesome.

I was going do this last summer with the AMG GT black cross spoke 20x11’s. Didn’t know for sure if it would work so I didn’t. Now I regret it....Thanks for that

@M1RAG3 your OEM+ setup looks sharp. GTC wheels on a CLS is pretty creative.

I'd be scared to stretch a 305 on a 12. I'd do a 325/25... That's actually my next setup... But your looking good buddy...

Agreed, however, likely couldn’t steer at all LOL. Even with this setup (9” front), there is very limited space in between the tire and the suspension assembly

Thank you.

Ideally I was going to run 315/25 but that size is largely discontinued
