Picked her up Saturday and swapped my wheels and tires off the '15 CLS onto it - 285/30 9.5 et45 rears 255/35 8.5 et35 fronts (had to use 5mm spacer on front)

Put the VR tune in yesterday

This thing rips! tons of fun so far, and sounds like a banshee



Looking forward to some other minor mods soon... not sure what yet.

Wasting no time! The wheels look clean! Did you need the 5mm to clear the strut? Congrats on the new whip!

Haha Hey Grant - It's Drew - R2L -

As for the spacer - it's needed to space out from the control arm/wheel hub mount - Ideally I'd have 245s on the front, or get a more appropriate offset on the wheel, but these were already sitting around, so they'll do

Wheels are 19s yes

Few more pics just for fun -
