The AMG53 rear wheel width (11-inches) is actually sized for a 305/30-20 tire. I will shop for that size when they wear out. The 305/30-20 will make the tire “look right” on the wheel. The factory 295/30-20 makes the wheel look too wide for the tire width - and I do not like that look.
Do you have any tire rubbing on the body panel?

Fun day today. Went to Discount to get new all-seasons (I'm in Michigan and the summer tires were dunzo anyhow). ALL 4 H&R spacers had sheared off the little lip that centers on the hub.
I was at a loss for words. The Discount guys were at a loss for words. They/I've never seen anything like it. All I can figure is that I over torqued the bolts at some point. Read the torque specs I guess y'all? Thank god I kept the original bolts.
Also, the pics of my car were with 12mm spacers all around. Mistakenly thought I had 15mm on all four.

Thanks for sharing, and yes they were hub centric...or at least they were before that little lip sheared off at some point. Never had a single noise, vibration, or any other red alert. Guess I'll shop around.
