***NEW*** Drag Setup!!!!!!!
Thanks to Craig (Chawkins2001) I have been begging him for a month for them and he finally came off them What do you guys think??
225-40-18 BFG KDW in the front and 275-35-18 BFG D/R in the rear...

I also have my stock E55 wheels at the shop right now getting completly refinished, and powdercoated in Gloss black with new Conti sports in the front and Brand new Mickey Thompson E/T streets in the rear 265-40-18 (These puppies are SO STICKY) BUT I will probabally end up selling the set because I don't need 2 sets of drag wheels and tires...

And now the pictures (sorry for the crummy cell phone shots)

Very nice setup. Should hook great with those.

I just mounted a set of Nitto 285/35ZR18 on 18" Forgestar's for my C63.

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
Looking good, many seem to run 265 DR in the rear, first I have seen a 275. I run 285 streets and cannot step on it under 40 or so
