Ha... I am the banker, I am not familiar with the tire size, but I will try to find out for you.

Yes, rubbing for sure. I just checked with my friend's E500. He has Brabus VI 20" on w/o lowering & fender rolling. He said that when he has 2 people in the car, it began to rubbing the fenders. If you wanna lower your car, 19" is a better choice & you can save some $$$

Hm... OK, then put them on first, if there is rubbing, roll the fenders when you lower your car. W/ 20", your E will look nice Post some pictures when you are done.

You're not kidding, are you ? The way you speak and write doesn't leave any impression that you have anything to do w/ bank at all, not to mention banker who works on multi-millions deals.

"I am THE banker, woking on multi-million dollars deal" .

Want to hear something even funnier ? How about "I don't think THE system architect .....blablabla....".

Hmmm, wonder how the contract for the deal will be drafted.

Empty barrel makes loud noise ???? FYI, most (if not all) successful people have one thing in comon: most start out from a humble life, and are very modest.

Thanks for a good laugh.
