Stock Tires/Rims VS Aftermarket?
I have a question:
I am going to need new tires in about 3 months, cost ~ 500-700. When I bought the car, the stock AMG rims and bran new tires came with it. On the car currently are staggered fit rims and tires:
REAR - Nitto 265 / 30ZR 19 93W
FRONT - Nitto 253 / 35ZR 19 91W
I know the 19" on it now weight a few more pounds, but are wider and are low profile.
My questions is:
Which tires and rims would be better to use overall, stock or the ones on it now???
Second Question:
Where can I get some stock floor mats (CLK55 AMG Floor mats)?

If you are looking for looks 19's work perfectly and all that counts is that you like the shape of the rims. If you are looking for performance you would be better off with a set of 18's that have a relatively light weight. I personally run a set up of 235/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear and I love the way the car handles and the way it corners. Next step would be to get coilovers and sway bars.Not that I am saying that 19's are bad they just weight more compared to 18's.
