Had a meet-up today with another wagon owner; his E63 on left. At least our cars don't have to follow social distancing.

Here is my pre-facelift biturbo:
eBay gloss black "Sport" grill, all black with chrome star. Accidental custom plates...B16638T = BIGGEST ???
Staggered 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 TSW Bathurst wheels with 245/35 and 285/30 Kumho PS91 tires. Will be ordering 17" Bathurst wheels and drag radials next month for that "Drag-Pack" look...and traction...
Matt finish carbon fiber wing(eBay: DTM Style???)

It came with TSW 18" wheels. I wish it had the stock 17" wheels. The lower profile tires don't offer as much protection against potholes and other road hazards. The only benefits are looks and a tad bit better grip in corners. In our travels I would rather have a thicker/taller sidewall. And I would rather have the stock wheels rather than aftermarket. In addition these specific tires offer zero curb-rash protection so we'll need to be extra careful when parking.
I'm looking at your roof box and wondering if you're skiers or snowboarders? We are debating about using ours for our Winter travels as it may only be capable on plowed roads. Last year on returning form Revelstoke (B.C. Canada) we drove through 8" + of unplowed snow -which was no problem for our RAM 1500 4x4. I'm thinking the chin of the E350 might become a plow with that much snow in front of it! ;-)

Thanks,
I have a couple of questions as a newbie, why does the sidewall on the rear tires have to be 30 instead of the same 35 as the front? Also would we be able to get away with anymore sidewall once the car is lowered if running 19's?

Hi My car is a 4matic and this tire combo is based on the tire calculators , The rear wheel is wider than the front and if I install all tires with the same profile the rear wheel will be a lot taller than the front, If all my wheels are the same then its ok with the same profiles If you lowered your car then you must check the fender gap clearance to you wheel offset and tires . My car is still on stock height and not planning to lowered hope that helps goodluck !

Hood Ornament
Yes, intolerant a lot. I see the moderators have done their job and deleted the offensive photos. Hatred has no place here.
How many windows/windshields have you had to replace with that **** symbol for a hood ornament? (That's a rhetorical question. Don't bother replying. I couldn't care less.)
