Talking Wheel/tire upgrade, which one?

Does anyone here know a good wheel/tire upgrade option to the factory ones? I think the ones which come with the car is a bit narrow for the corners this amount of torque.

This will go on a 2006 SLK 55 AMG.

Also I would appreciate any suggestions for brake upgrades (if needed).

Thanks in advance!

Rolling the fenders?

Kleemann USA told me today that I will need to roll the fenders to put their rims/tires combo on.

Does anyone know a larger tire solution without rolling the fenders?
