          It isn't low enough to pull off such short tires.

          Looks great otherwise.

            Another internet tough guy here..Huh? You definitely wouldn't say this to my face, cause I would make it mash potatos....back on topic though...of course there's potential, it can't get any worst then what it is :-)

                        That's exactly why all the hate. I think it looks silly on BMW's too. Equal Opportunity. ;)

                        Nah, it's just putting a 205 tire on a wheel that needs a 255.

                          As much as I dislike Mercedes, I've always had a thing for 190's. I agree with needing more tire though. Maybe a 225/45.

                          And lol at the guy calling someone an Internet tough guy then threatening him in the same sentence. The lack of logic in that sentence almost gave me cancer.

                            We are on the same page lol, I hate that Mercedes doesn't make manual transmission anymore. And from what ive read they stopped in 2008 I think on the C300 which is my favorite of the bunch, and everyone says the clutch and shifting is nothing like BMW lol :D

                            But yes, keyboard warriors smh

                            And thanks for the love, after having the setup a few days I think it should have a 45 side wall atleast but ill have to wear these down until I can afford another set of rubber

                              They do, but they called them Chrysler.
                              Research the NSG-370. It was used in the Chrysler Crossfire, which was just a first gen SLK with a body kit. The CF had the M112 V6 with NSG-370 six speed. The M112 is the V6 version of the M113 V8, which is the basis for the 350 HP naturally aspirated AMG engines and the 500+ HP supercharged AMG engines.

                              The NSG is rated for 280 ftlbs, so it wouldn't live behind the blower motors, but would make the N/A motors a ton of fun in a 190E.

                              Food for thought.

                              (The NSG was also used in Jeeps, but I don't know if it used the same bellhousing pattern as the Chrysler ones)

                              I've been thinking about trying out a 190E... it certainly has better rear suspension than an E30.
