Thanks guys. Appreciate the chance to conversate a bit! I agree that staying to the original tyre width on those rims seems to be the better solution.

Thank you. All valid points! I just really like the look of these original AMG rims, but my car doesn't have the right engine for them. Perhaps the solution is obvious - do as planned, use this first MB of mine primarily as a stepping stone to learn about the brand, and when opportunities...

Yes. I'm considering 225 tyres on the rear 8.5 rims instead of 245, because: - the official specs for my car seem to say that 225 is ok, while 245 is not mentioned. - the car is underpowered compared to the car that the wheels originally came on and it does not need the extra grip (and I dont...

Do you have any pics with the 225s on the 8.5s?

Here are the 235s on the 8.5" rims. They're scratched, but were cheap and it's the rim model I like. The second set without tyres is perfect though, just need to decide on tyres. Will 1cm less really look that much worse? Assume from comments here that functionally there wont be any issues, just...

Thanks for the reply! It's w203, not w202. According to the national registry on my vin, originally the car should have: Either: F/R 205/55R16, Alternatively Front 225/50R16, 225/45R17 Rear 225/50R16, 225/45R17 I have a second identical C32 rimset which came with 235 winter tyres F&R, and...

I have acquired a nice low mileage 02 C240, and also separately a set of AMG rims from a C32, and I am wondering if it's ok for use and for MOT to put 225 on both the 7.5 inch front and 8.5 rear rims? They're intended for wider tyres in the rear obviously to ensure grip with the higher power...
