Absolutely, happy to help. I have the factory sized tires, both with my new tires & the ones the previous owner had installed, which were some budget Barums. Based on his receipts, they had about 20,000 miles on them before I started seeing cord on the most inner front treads, the rears were down to 3mm on the inner treads. The car had unusually higher front wear due to the worn front steering drop link, which probably couldn't hold an alignment. I had to replace that before I could even get the fronts aligned.

Currently have Falken Azenis FK510, with 225/40R-18 Front and 255/35R-19 rear tires. Under full turn lock, going in reverse (pulling out of a parking spot), I can sometimes hear a little rubbing of the front tires on inside fender liners. Zero rubbing otherwise, certainly no rubbing under any other type or driving situation.

Here is a pic I just posted in another thread about wheels, you can see the drop here, does really improve the looks with little compromise....

I have a question, I blew my supercharger pulley, upgraded to a 64mm and had a tune, but now my acceleration and pickup has gotten slower, any ideas. The car has upgraded sl55 intake, larger heat exchanger, sl55 throttle body, new bosch cooling pump , and I have 550cc injectors to install. Could my issue be fuel pump, filter or both? I'm curious to know what you think. I also have one of last batch of 300 plus slk32 produced in 2004, and I'm thinking of selling it. It has 22000 miles.

My 05 srt6, has really aged lights, foggy and I'm looking for means of getting them fixed up. I've tried many ways, but nothing is working at the moment.

When you drop the car 30mm (the general drop with most of these Lowering Springs) - do you find the front wheels fill the arch nicely, but there's a more noticeable gap with the rear wheels in the arches?
As the car stock doesn't sit "level" - there appears to be a slight nose down attitude.
