Brabus 6
Wassup fellass... just wanted some of ur advices here.. someone's offering to sell me their monoblock 6 for my slk.. they are 19 inch rims so that's great, however, my concern here is that i was informed that the size of the rear tire are 10.5... would that be too wide and would that have any rub if i were to lower my car??

Are they real Brabus.......because I don't think Brabus made 10.5 on the Mono VI........9.5 is the max for the SLK.......good luck.....

How about handling? Was it better on 17z versus 19z? Specifically when you turn or weave at high speeds.
Thanks for the feedback.

The handling seems to improve, the 10's in the rear really gives it a solid feel, like it's stuck on the road. No problems turning and weaving at high speed, gives you the confidence to turn and weave faster. Not always a good thing.

we have 10 inch wide on the backs.. and we are stretching it alot already on 265, so if u went with 10.5 i doubt its gonna fit.. Also, the wheel is gonna be sticking out, since ours does. We cant lower the car. Also, when you stretch the tires, its a lot easier to mess up your rims, since there is no rubber to protect the lip of the rim.
