Have a C240 elegence sedan.
Was thinking of upgrading the stock 16" to the five split spoke AMG wheels as on the C32.
Questions:
1. Rim sizes 7.5x17 front rims and 8.5x17 rear rims
225/45 ZR 17 front tires and 245/40 zr17 rear tires
will this rub on the wheel wells?
2. Is this too much wheel for the horsepower of the c240? - i.e. overkill for a whimpy motor?
3. Is US $1,200 a good deal for a used set of rims with Michelin Pilots?
4. If the rims and tires were installed on the C240, would it be the same ride height as a C32 or does the C32 have a lower ride height (as I would presume)? i.e. if I didn't adjust the springs and ride height would the AMG wheels look stupid on the car.
Thanks
