new owner with few questions
What oil are you guys using and what filter does this car take?
What is the widest tire we can run on the stock 20in rear wheels without the traction control freaking out and the car rubbing?
What drag radial setup are you guys running?
And does this car adapt to e85 mix without a specific tune for it?

The 295 is made to fit a 10.5 wheel and fits flush IMHO (see pic below). The 285 stock tire just looked too stretched for my liking.
There are people on MB World running the 305/30/20 tire on the rear and say they have no rubbing issues.
I have personally seen this size tire on my stock wheel and I did not like the look of the slight bulge from the 305.
just my 2 cents!

I am currently running a PS4S 295/30/20 on the rear (stock AMG forged cross spoke 20in wheel).

2. You can run 305s, but 295 is really should be the widest
3. r888s or hoosiers will work at stock ride height
4. I try to never add more than 3 gallons of e85, but others may feel comfortable using more
