If you feel the ride height is fair, then listen to KEV...100% agree

Nice car chicho55amg 
Wait that's my hometown Sour !!
btw, I agree with Kev and Boull... it would be awesome to lower your car but not in lebanon... I wanted to lower mine but with me driving from and to beirut everyweek... my suspension wouldn't survive the potholes !!
And now I really wish we had a clk meet before I came here

CLK500 (Gone) SL500 (R230)
Hi All. Newbie to this forum.
Loving all the stats & photo's of all the combo's for wheels & supension set-ups.
My CLK500 Avantgarde 2003 is standard at the moment with:-
Front - 225/45/17 on Adharaz 7.5J ET36 (I think)
Rear - 245/40/17 on Adharaz 8.5J ET30
I'm now getting very close to making a swap to bigger rims, nothing too extreme 18's or maybe 19's,
I like the look of the Adharaz & fancy something similar from the AMG range.
I will probably leave the suspension alone for now but will be looking at a subtle drop next year, are ther DIY threads that cover spring changes ?
Cheers to everyone that has added to this thread as it has made it easier to identify the size ranges available.

2005 e55 wagon blk/blk loaded
TIRE SIZE ON E55 WAGON 2005
have an '05 wagon, keeping stock rims for now.
wanted to jump in front from oe 245/40/18 to 255/40/18
and in rear from oe 265/35/18 to 285/35/18
are there any issues with abs or traction control by going to non oe size tires?
by all appearances they look like they fit and are not much larger than stock, in rear only 3/4" wider and 1/2" taller,
any comments.
considering the new michelin pilot super sports, friend has on a 997, they are highly rated.
any thoughts anyone?
thanks,
r

Haha, had the same reaction from my dad when i got my car...
then i wondered.. what would he have told me if i got a Nissan 350Z?
"Son
, Wouldn't it be easier to Grind ur *** on the asphalt instead of buying a low ride!?"

Im sure you could get the wheel on there at a ET 30 or so but it's not nessasary at all considering that a 235 is the widest tire you want to run without rubbing issues while keeping a desirable offset.
