is my wheel/tire sizing setup correct on my E55?
so I checked my tires today on my recently purchased 2003 E55 and I see the following:
fronts: dunlop tires 245/40R18 93w
backs: falken fk453 265/35/18
can I get your opinion on those tires and tire size settings? are they correct?
Can those tire size setting let me know if my car has been lowered or not?
thanks all, sorry if its a stupid question, its my first AMG purchase and I plan on upgrading the wheels. The existing wheels on the vehicle are the original AMG E55 wheels.

Yes, they are stock.
No, it cannot be judged if the car has been lowered or not simply from tire size.
Although, I believe that your tires should be with letter "Y" at the end instead of "W" cuz
of different speed rating.
Also, rears are "suppose" to be "XL" extra load

There should be a sticker on your door jamb if you open your driver's door and look. This should show the stock tire sizes.

thanks guys appreciate it,
if i move up to the SL65 19 inch wheels, what tire sizes will I need?
is there a big difference between 18 inch rims and 19 inch rims in terms of the size?
