I've asked the question on a different forum, and I'm still a bit confused by the varied responses. I'm hoping to get a little better understanding on the ride difference when moving from 16" to 18" wheels on the standard (non-Sport) SL. Alot of people tell me that 17" isn't too much different than the feel of 18", and MB went to 17" as the standard in 99. I'm thinking of using Dunlop SP9000's on staggered 18" wheels on my 1994 SL500. Some people think the ride sucks with 18" wheels. What's been people's experience with this combination? When people say it's definitely firmer, is it teeth jarring or just a bit firmer? (I, myself, wouldn't mind it the car was a bit firmer.)
Has anyone had a first hand experience with this change?
