CLK 55 AMG 2005 and CLK 63 AMG cab.2007 - 2009 EVO - 2013 ML63 AMG - 2018 G63 AMG
225 VS 235 .... 255 VS 265

Why does everyone recommand 235/35-19 and 265/30-19... eg.

FRONT Stock wheels : 225/40-18

235/35-19 and not 225/35-19 Front

225 is 0.5% slower than stock
and
235 is 1.6% slower than stock


REAR Stock wheels : 255/35-18

255/30-19 is PERFECT fit 0% difference than stock
VS
265/30-19 is 0.9% slower than stock


Soo the best combo would be 225/35-19 with 255/30-19
and not what I see most of the time an this forum...

any input?

BTW I will install PSS9 next week...

thanks guys

When I had my 19's I ran 225/35/19 and 265/30/19 with no problems. This time around I might go with 235/275...Not sure yet still doing research
