I think they're 235/35/17 on the back of a Brabus. Very big tyres for such a light car.

Yes huge wheels .... but aren't the rims made from Kit Kat wrappers & buckle at the mere sight of a pot hole? :rolleyes:

I think they tried kit kat wrappers but found they were too robust.
If you get Monoblock A instead of Monoblock VI rims they're much stronger
