Hi everyone!
Most of you I know from the W163 forum. I will be trading in my 2000 ML 320 for a 2006 ML 320 CDi Diesel this week. If all goes well, I will get it Thursday or Friday.
One thing that I noticed about the new ML is that the wheels are considerably narrower with 23565R17 instead of the 25570R16 that I have now. (Both are equipped with identical Continental WinterContact 4x4 tires. My question: is it possible to get fatter tires for the ML, without having to increase the diameter of the wheels, and therefore the profile of the tires. My wife actually likes a large profile tire, and wants to have a broad footprint as well. It just doesn't seem right to have a great looking chrome tipped square dual exhaust, and these 235 tires.
Thanks for your help!
Steve
