Just Purchased 2006 E55 AMG Need mods and rims
I just purchased a 2006 E55 AMG from a friend. It has higher miles, about 150, but all highway, and it has been babied. I do not intend to baby it. It has 18 inch BBS rims which I want to keep to add radials and run when on the track. But, I have been researching and can't find a clear answer to if I can put 20 inch on it, what width, and what tires. I would like to know if they scrub or can also be driven in sport 2 mode as well. Pics are appreciated and so are suggestions.
The main question is what mods. I have looked at Kleeman stage 4 and heard only good things, and have looked at Eurocharged which seems to be a ore for your money, but I have heard a negative comment from a gentleman, and he says he had heard bad things from more than one. I want to maximize my bwh, with a budget of around $10k. What should I add, and what is waste as it relates to horsepower gains. Is tuning a continuing problem when you get to a Stage Four level? Any help is much appreciated. I have been looking here and other places for days.

Get your basics covered with maintenance and replacing worn items. Coming from somebody that tracks theirs on a monthly basis, upkeep and PM is the goal to having a happy 211. Don't think about modifying it until you've gone through the whole thing twice
