I'm selling my 19" RENNtech wheels with tires (265/30 rear and 245/35 front - with AVS Sport) I only drove 3,000 miles on these...

If you are interested PM me.

Yes,
the car has too much power, and I have no traction - NONE!

Today I put on 18" wheels (same) with 275/35 rear and 245/40 front - Nitto NT01
WOW! what speed! these things stick like crazy!

So, for no other reason other than traction I must part from the 19"

Also, drag radials?

yes,
rolled the rear fenders and raised the setting on the rear suspension.
drags are for fun! (an extra set)

front 19x8 (245/35/19 tires)
rear 19x9 (265/30/19 tires)

looks great with the right drop!
fit all C55, E55, and I'm almost sure SLK55...
