you could do 255/35/19 and maintain the same sidewall "thickness" as mine.

265/30/19 has an overall diameter of 25.4".
255/40/19 has an overall diameter of 27.1".
255/35/19 has an overall diameter of 26.2".

Neither of the 255 tires listed above will work. If you want to put 255 tires, it should be 255/30/19, but not many tires have that size.

Yes, I think its the spring pads. If you think the height looks okay to you, just leave it. If you want to raise it up a bit, get the Dot 4 pads.

Well, the reason why I think its too low is because as the springs settled more in a week or two, the rear will sit even lower. The fender might cover the rear tire more and I am worried that your car will look "unbalanced".

I think you just have to take out the springs to change the spring pads. You've done the alignment already? Why? You should wait for the springs to settle down a bit first in order to get optimum results.

AMG BRED once again those rims are amazing I love the Like Blue HRE logo instead of the Red it matchs your car alot more. CLK55 Foglight looks awsome Although Brabus Twin's Look better.
