Hi Everyone. Thanks in advance. I have a new to me black series and just put new Michelin PS4s in factory sizes. I am having a hard time finding the correct alignment specs for this car. Also the strange thing is my mechanic checked the ride height per the manual and made some minor adjustments but the car looks like its too high or higher than others i have seen. Any suggestions or input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! my goal is for the car to look good but nothing too aggressive or any rubbing. The car won't see track use so want a setup that provides nice handling for carving local roads, etc. I have attached some pictures to show the current ride height. Thanks!

Although you installed the OEM tire sizes, have your mechanic check for ride height shims located on the top of the rear shocks. In addition, if the OEM shocks & struts and coil springs have been replaced with after-market, non-MB's, check out their specs, i.e., length, stiffness, other dimensions, etc., that could affect the overall ride height.
Based on my research, some MB after-market shocks & struts, i.e., Bilstein, K & B, etc., have slightly shorter lengths and adjustable stiffness settings which also impact ride height.
PJMak's above comments are a great suggestion you should follow-up on, too!
