I deff have to take my turns with bumps (driveways etc) slow or it will rub, I have the fender wheel wells rolled tho so that helps a little. I have a spare set of tires but they are 40's as well and with me having the 18's I really need 35's so waitin on those...

Another question I had was about the Comand option I have in my car, being young and dumb I want a nice "up to date" double din stereo where the Navi only takes one disk and iPod hook up and Bluetooth etc... My old Comand does not read CDs due to the piece that lowers the cd doesn't go far enough down... I know it was a rare option so should I keep it for when I resale it or sale it now if its worth anything or what?
Thanks for the advice... Really enjoying the forum...

I suggest to check the suspension height bro. this car is not to high in the rear compared to the front. maybe the other owner change the spring pads. just check

I'll check me but the guy I bought it from works for Mercedes as diagnostics and owns a local company called House of Boost... He sold it due to purchasing a S600... No disrespect but I'm sure whatever he did to it is proper... Thx tho for the advice

I think it's good. I have a feeling it's two different tire brands n causing the size tires to look way off. Cause the front is way thicker then the back. You might just need to get matching brand rear tires. I THInk.

I mean, change spring pads is not unproper. Some people change the pads due to a exhaust rub in to a house entrance or so. maybe he install higher spring pads in the rear, just ask about and if you want a more beauty look lower it in the rear I'm sure it will look so much beauty just IMO

That is deff true... They r diff brands and sizes... Ill get matching ones but I also get free tires from the Mercedes dealership off trade ins so its about how picky I wanna b compared to what's kinda acceptable but I understand what ur saying for sure...

If your rims are staggered I would say try 245/40/18 front n 275/40/18 rear. Or 245/35 n 275/35. I find 255 in the front takes away from the wider rear tire. He might have took those rims off a CL
