hmm, might be a possibility, but absolutely no lowering, haha. If you went 17s, it might work better.

You may be able to stuff it on if it is an 18x10 rim. It could fit , I believe another member here did this. It was on a CLS55

isnt there more fender space in the CLS and SL ? cant you run a 20x11 where as most E's run a 20x10 or 20x9.5 . I just know that my 295/35/18 on a 9" wheel rubbed on the inside fender so Im not sure how a 315 will fit

I like the fact that it's a 30 series. But 315 is really wide. That might slow you down when compared to a 275-35-18. Unless you have over 500whp IMO. Let us know if it works. GL with it.

Guess I'll go with the 275's

the car went 11.99@117 bone stock.

Now looking to put K&N's and drag radials (plus "dyno mode") and see what she goes.
