Mercedes Benz 17 inch chrome Amg Wheels

I'm planning on getting Rotiform IND wheels.


The sizes are 8,5X19 ET45 front and 10X19 ET35 rear.

Tyres would be 255/40 in the front and 285/35 in the rear.

Lowered with H&R springs.



Will it fit?

What year and class?

Something to consider is what are the original size wheels?

he has it in his profile - '98 S300 diesel. We all have the same 16x7.5 ET51 as factory size, don't we?

Well the short of it is that I don't think anyone in the know would recommend a tire wheel combo that is more than 1 inch taller. I know that rule very well. Still I increased my wheel size by 3 inches. The loss of dampening that the cushier tires gave blew out the rear shocks and the wheel rub in the front, which everyone said it would not, has caused the driver side sway bar mount to fail.

Long term effect of wheel size change is detrimental to the suspension components.

In other words, the added cost of the wheels for vanity sake will also cost you more in the end.

So... no problems then, since so many W140's came stock with the 18" wheels over here, going 19" I'm just raising 1 inch in size.

Wow! Yeah my 140 came stock with 16 inches and 60 profile. Same as my 129.

Just to be sure I would double check the shock and spring ratios. Maybe you have an entirely different suspension than we have state side?
