Got my big tires today so I played around with getting them on the car a bit- it was quite a chore to get them on the skinny 8" rims! now I have 275/40/17 Kumho V700's at all 4 corners, which is a nice improvement over the BFG 205/55/16 R1's I had run previously.

Still trying to figure out a way to get the fenders out of the way, already shimmed them out as much as I can. anyone got a set of widebody ones to sell?

I cleaned up my new calipers while waiting for the rest of the brake parts to arrive and thought what the hell, I'll paint them

Also finally found an actual AMG stamp on something finally! when I pulled off the lower body trim to shim the fenders, I found it (pic below):

Those look great, John. Did you use the POR stuff for them? I bet they stop a LOT faster now!
