2000 CLK 3.2
Update on 275/30/19's.
So I made an executive decision to get wider tires because I was on the freeway yesterday and I wanted to go fast and I was second guessing my ability to go fast and scared that I would have a blow out. I did the tire switch because I drive my car everyday and having the stretch tires is more for a second car and not an everyday driver. The car felt fine and drove fine but it was just that little voice in the back of my head that kept telling me that this is not for everyday driving if I like to speed from time to time.
So I went with:
Pirelli PZero Rosso 275/30/19
Pirelli PZero Rosso Direczional 225/35/19
I rub a little but nothing I can't live with because it's a faint rub that is on the top of the wheel well on the fender liner.
They didn't stretch out like I wanted but it still looks good, I can't say I'm really happy about the look because now my car just looks like every other car on here with wheels except that mine have really big lips all around....they don't poke out anymore which is what I like.
I think I should have gone with 265/30/19 from Pirelli because these tires seem to run bigger than other brands. I just bought what was in stock at the shop.
I'll take pics of how the cars rear end looks like now, it looks super wide with those 275's from Pirelli, they look like 285 or 295's!
And by the way I'm selling my tires...they were only 2 1/2 months old with about 800 miles on them, they have plenty of tread left

Here's a pic of my car with the new tires and a group pic from the HMS BBQ on Saturday.
I'll be posting some better pics of my car wit hthe new tires up close so that you can see the better fitment and from the rear end a 275/30/19 Pirelli looks really wide

Really great looking setup. I'm not much a fan for stretched tires so that part wouldn't work for me if I did it, but the car really achieves the look it is going for.
Good old flush wheels and tires work for me, long as they are indeed flush and not - or + from the fender edge.
Of course it wouldn't look quite as aggressive as this does.

Na..no wide body for me.
Look out for Opal208...he's got something cooking in that respect. It should end up looking really nice if he does it right. He has a good eye so I'm sure it will come out right.
