C250
really?

thats hella flush? i'll have to disagree :/.. stretched, yes. i wanted the wheels and wanted to avoid rubbing at the same time. the ride is actually neither soft nor hard. can't complain about that.. although i did switch from an SLK 230 into a Z4 into this C250.. so the switch alone has been drastic enough (c250 is much more comfortable) to deter from me being able to tell.

Really

How old are you?

Putting ANY tire on a rim that the manufacturer says is too big is JUST PLAIN STUPID.

There is a reason they list suggested max and min rim widths. You will be working a part of the sidewall, ON ANY TIRE, that was NOT designed for that load.

Before you shoot me, have any of you really achieved ANYTHING by this ridiculous look?

I guess if your 16 thinking it might get you a lady have it.

WOW, LOL

^Oh dear lord. Did you see the C320 with the giant AMG windshield logo and the V8 Kompressor badges just a few posts down from that beauty? Time to feed the poser thread.

I haven't died yet. I mean, I will some day, but more than likely it won't be because I have a 235 on a 10.

🤷🏽 95’ S420 LWB (W140) 255/30/20’s gave me 0 problems @ 152mph. I will say that the W140 was OVER engineered. However, it was eventful having to remove & repair 80% of the biodegradable engine harness. But not before the damage had been done. I replaced my starter after it catastrophically exploded & then after replacing it the starter stayed engaged while the car was running completely eating the teeth off of the flex plate , rendering the car useless. Off topic, but had to respond to you.
