benzat - thanks man yeah theyre 9.5 all around with 275s, im still learning the whole tire thing as well as offsets, these rims came off another s-class so everythings all good with fitting, still wish i had them deep staggered 10" in the rear 
now about your car.... i wish i had 03+ and up!!! ecspecially with your body trim i believe those are similar to brabus?? all u would need is front bumper!!! i would rather have your trim/year!!! very clean man!
overall i love mercedes and mbworld.org - ive saved alot of money and thats not switching to geico either!! =)

and about you wanting them 10 in the back my opinion yes it would look nice but its not comfy i have the 275 in the back and seriously when i had the 225 in the back they were much comfortable. but maybe coz i need tires? not sure yet
but good luck

V12 Biturbo emblems
hello friend,
i saw on your car something that i wanted to do on mine, but was never sure should i do that or not. i got 06 CL600, and originally the V12 emblem was on the fender's molding.
when i got the car it was de-badged, but i never liked the V12 on that molding, and wanted to put V12 Biturbo on the fender, like yours. but i don't know if our cars are Biturbo or not.
as of right now, i don't understand the difference between Twin-Turbo and Bi-Turbo engines. are they same? if not, what is the difference?
and finally, puting V12 Biturbo emblem on my car will be correct or not?
thanks
