Sweet nickname.. Im so offended man. Did you come up with that all by yourself ??

I love the reason you have beef with me.. All because I said I would have gone with a rear tank over you ghetto *** front tank.. I think you need to go back to school and learn to take criticism.

And the reason you and Skratch have beef is because he called you out on not having a true k2 car.. Which you dont!

What the heck is going on in this thread? At first it was about a guy looking at a car to buy, then it got funny, and then it got sad and way off-topic. So what's the status on the price negotiation?

You have got to be joking...If not, I am starting to see where the tirekicker thing came from. I thought he was serious about buying the car, oh well.

This is a crazy thread...

Did you manage to sell your e55 parts to fund your e63 front bumper conversion? lmao

True k2 car? Captain McDouche go ahead and email cory@kleemannusa.com and see what he has to say. K2, k2, k3, k4 refers to hard parts, not software. I should go back to school? Ya fat turd bucket you need to go back to school and learn how to read.

Btw did you fix your ghetto *** exhaust that sticks out 3 feet? lmao

tbag,

I am in school you dumb ****.. I could care less about your car.. Keep thinking you have a k2 car.. Man how old are you? You certainly like to talk down to people, dont you.. Just think even turdster is going to have an E55 now.. Get off your high horse, your nothing but a fly on dog ****..

Also why the **** do you keep PMing me?? Grow the **** up, im not going to respond to your childish acts.. So like I said before, **** off..

I dont drive my car in the winter, so its in storage.. You really love the Captain McDouche huh, couldnt have thought of something better than that

LOL you two guys!

To the OP, if you really left deposit and are so eager to get one how can you wait another few weeks. Get yo' azz on a plane and go get it. Tomorrow.

so - back on topic, since I need new tires

these are the OEM 18" rims - what is the max size I can put on to get the most traction/stopping power?

OEM is

245/40-18 front (not really a replacement size other than this)
and
265/35-18 rear - can go to a 275/35-18 but Speedometer Difference: 1.069% too slow

what's everyone running?


it seems pretty obvious that the Michelins are so popular, as you're getting 1-1.3" more tread than the Hancook and Conti tires in the rear - that's a HUGE difference!

you can go either:

275/35/18
285/30/18
285/35/18

Why would you get the DWS? Get the DW

I'd go ahead with the 275/35 rears. the w210 e55s also have 9in wide rears and run 275s from factory. The 285s will make it look super balloon.
