I ordered at set of HRE P40s yesterday (in 19"). They are about an inch wider than stock front and rear. Do folks who've made similar wheel changes stay with the stock tire size, or is their some reason to play with width/sidewall? Thanks very much.

I am running 19x11 rears with 305 tires, I track the car, it is slightly lowered and I have no rubbing issues. How much track time are you planning with the Black Series? Did you talk to evosport about oem CLK DTM seats? They should be able to sourse you a set without a problem.

did you go 305/25 in the rear to keep somewhere close to the stock diameter, or did you just live with the slightly larger wheel diameter?

Did you stick with the stock front width at 265?
