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.

if Brabus had offered the Twin foglights look for the C, i would have jumped on it by now just so that i could have matching cars.. :p
