I have a 1997 SL500 and and my friend just got new rims & rubber for his 1999 SL500 and he is going to give me his old ones. They are the stock 17' 5 stars that came with the 1999 car. My 1997 has 225/55/16 on it and the 1999 wheels he is giving me are 245/45/17. Will I have a problem? I know they should fit but I was concerned it MB changed the offset or made any other changes between the two years that may cause this change to not be a good idea. Thanks for your help!

    Tire, Wheel, Brake and Suspension Forum
    Hello all I've never owned such a fancy car. Can I use a floor Jack and stands and rotate my tires at home? I was wondering if I somehow need to tell the computer that the wheels are now on a different spot. Someone mentioned a diagnostic tool was needed to be plugged in to the On Board...

  5. Check Your Toe-in at Home to See if You Need an Alignment

    Tire, Wheel, Brake and Suspension Forum
    In my 2012 S65 I hit a big pothole and blew out my left front sidewall (sounded like an explosion from inside the car). I replaced the tire, and a couple thousand miles later I noticed significant wear on the inside edges of both front tires. I took it in to the dealer for an alignment and the...

  6. Front brake pads wear and tear question

    Tire, Wheel, Brake and Suspension Forum
    I bought an A-class automatic 10 months ago. Since then I have driven 22K km of which I’d say 85% of this was straight motorway and minimal breaking. I’ve just brought my car in for a service to the garage I bought it from and they told me that after 10 months, my brakes are worn to 90% with...
