With 19" do you need a drop?

If I put 265/30/19" do I need a drop?
I guess my stock AMG suspension is lower than std MB. soo that helps

I have coilovers in mind, but for next summer


My question: do I wait next year to do the suspension and wheels

or do wheels right now and no suspension...


thanks for your input guys

I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
it will ride like a 4x4....with a 3.5 finger gap all around. IMO its ugly without a drop...save your rims, and get a drop first then throw the rims on.
