As I posted here before, I installed the links on my car. Love the look of it however, I have sacrificed the ride of the car. It seems to be very prone to feeling little bumps EVERYWHERE.
Now, I have the Vossen VVS075 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9.5 in the rear. I am currently running 245-35-19 in the front. Can I without rubbing run 245-40-19??

Any advice would help.
Thanks in advance

Very nice 211, nice clean look. What kind of tires? Some tires wear smaller/bigger than others and can make a difference in fitment.

Thank you very much. I am running pirelli's but I want to go to Michelin's.

Or I may put 255-35 for now since I need some new tires soon and don't want to risk rubbing with 245-40

I have run PS2s - 245-40's on the front. They will fit, but the gap between the upper arm ball joint bolt and the tire surface would be millimeters. Have used 265/35-19 that seemed to give me the best ride quality, but made the steering quite "hard" and prone to a bit of tram-lining. Am now on 235/35's...only because I couldn't find any 265/35's..hope that helps

Also, please pardon my question, but, I see you have the AMG bumper and stock(?) skirts? Is there a difference in level, as in does the bumper come much lower than the skirts? I would like to get the AMG bumper but not the skirts, if I can help it..

Thank you!

Thanks for the great advice. I am going to look around today for some tires. I think I like the option of the 40's..

AS far as the side skirts goes, they are actually the AMG ones. I have the E500 Sport with the AMG package. Bought it as is from Mercedes of Fort Lauderdale. Hard to see in the photo because of the poor quality. I will take some new photos soon and upload them
