Tires

I've been wondering what tires I should get too....I'm thinking its better to get tires and rims ?, I have stock stuff now (19" I think staggered ? 255/35 frt and 285/30 rear). I'm curious to know what I should do. Probably get them from Tire Rack, nearby ?

Yes you can. It may not look the best, but it will give you more choices and room for crap to fly without tearing up the car.

in europe these cars have 18's and if the stock wheels fit, you can pick those up for cheap. i know the sport package 18's clear the brakes.... i bet the regular ones do to.

I might buy the stock CLS500 rims and throw winter tires on them , or just park it for winter.

I looked at the wheel and tire purchase options and ended up deciding not to drive it when it snows. I just picked up an extra vehilce for bad weather days.
