i was told by teh crapy benz services guys that on my 2005 c240 4matic i cannot have anything bigger then stock rims because of soemting to do with the 4matic system....is there anyone who has the same car and put nice rims....and any sujjestions on how to hook up a nice sub system, and possibly a pop out dvd headunit.... i herd its realll tough becuase of the fiber optic shit.....any help would be awsome...
First your little sevice rep is stupid for telling you that!! If you lived near a real dealership, they would sell you some right out of their own stock !!!! 4-matic or not, your wheels overall will be basically the same diameter. I don't even see why having them staggered would cause any problems.That's what. 1/2" width difference across the rear?You would have better grip in the back yes, but not so drastic that it would throw your drive train off, and let's for argument say that it did. Okay, that's what the
[email protected]#$ing ESP supposed to correct. right?
I swear for this car to be so "prestigious" they sure have some knuckleheads representing them as service reps...But, I'm not hatin..That's what forums are for..
Anyway, like DACHIGGA said, if you use an aftermarket
HU, the fiber optic shit won't be a problem because you u won't use it acept maybe to get you steering controls to work and there are adapters for that so no issues there.
