I used to run 205 up front but it rubbed a lot so I sized down. Hope this helps!
    um for some reason the picture isn't showing up. Well I tried using 205/45's and they're too big. My wheel is actually pretty flush but I think it's because I haven't pulled or rolled my fenders. Also my car came with factory camber adjustments for the fronts and I did them on an alignment rack, that's the only reason why I know off the top of my head.

    Do you think you could try putting that pic up again, it would really help. And yeah I'm trying to sell my 205's and buying 195/40's. I have a ton to update my build thread with, but I've been holding off until after I get these wheels taken care of, and I just fuckd myself with these wrong tires

At the time I didn't have anyone to go on about what sizes to use...and then like the day after I get my tires you post up your sizes and i'm like fuck me . Do you think you could be so cool as to take some pics of your front AMGs on your car? like the fitment? It looks like you're almost tucking them, but I can't really tell by your cell pics. Could you take some clear close ups? Also have you rolled your fronts? Because I haven't. Also what kind of camber are you running up front? Thank you, any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get these wheels fitting properly so I can paint the damn car.

    Such a classic money shot... Those wheels really make the car.
    Tire stretch looks actually pretty good. How did you figure they would be tits?
