Hi,<br><br>
<br><br>
I'm thinking of buying a set of Carlsson 2/5 rims for my C43AMG, staggered in size the way the stock AMG rims are. Two things:<br><br>
<br><br>
1) The 'wheel finder' on Tire Rack's site states the wheels come in 18X8 and 18X9 (rear). However Carlsson's own web site in Germany ( http://www.carlsson.de ) states the sizes are 18X8.5 and 18X10 ... so who's 'right'?<br><br>
<br><br>
2) If the rims are infact 8.5' and 10' wide<br><br>
a) are they too wide for the front and rears of a '98 C43AMG ... I'm sure hoping not.<br><br>
b) Is the rear 10' rim just a little too wide for a Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position 255/35/18 tire, which has an overall dimension of 10.3'? This is just .3' over the rim width; with tread width about .5' less than the rim width.<br><br>
<br><br>
Are those rims too wide? <br><br>
<br><br>
Any help would be appreciated. Thanx all, for your time.<br><br>
