    What tyres does this 190E have on?

    'Correct' as in standard factory fitment on the 190E 2.5-16 Evolution, which had completely different (and much larger) wheelarches: For a non-Evo car, they are definitely too big. I guarantee it. As said, the 'discovery' that 225/45/16 is the perfect fit has been gone over a thousand times...

    What tyres does this 190E have on?

    Glad you like the car, it was my father's before I had it and I rarely saw any others with the same colour scheme (single-tone 568 Signal Red paint with coded mirrors and black interior). Yours looks like a real gem, very honest and clean! I only got rubbing with the 215/50/16s and I did not...

    What tyres does this 190E have on?

    Hello Marvin, a friend directed me to this thread - that's my old car! Unfortunately I had to sell it back in December, after 7 years of ownership. Missing it badly! Suspension on that car was totally standard. In the closeup picture of the front wheel, the 16x8 wheels had been freshly...

    Hamer Car Lifts

    If you ever get the chance to snag a copy of Garage Life magazine, you'll see that parking (some seriously valuable) cars double-decker-style like this really is quite commonplace in small places like Japan.

    Lowered my car

    True, you really don't want to kerb Graphite Grey painted rims - would stand out like a sore thumb! Tbh though, that wheel and tyre combo is pure purpose; Lightweight rims, and maximum grip. Quite a transformation, I can tell you. Actually a test for my next 190E, which I plan to track. As for...

    Window tinting

    You don't need a ticket when there's a Meter;) I really like it too, one of the more interesting cars to grace my neighbourhood.

    Lowered my car

    I actually think stretched tyres look bloody awful. Must be why they look appropriate on Japanese cars, and Mk3 Golfs. On my W201, I've gone the other way. 16x7J rims, 225/45/16 tyres. No rubbing at all.

    Lowered my car

    You don't need to change the rim size unless you have actually had the RIM touch your Arches. You may find that simply fitting 215/45/17 tyres up front will cure it. The difference will be minimal enough not to upset your ABS (heavily 'staggered' setups can occasionally affect it), but should...

    MERCEDES BENZ 190E 2.3-16 is Piston Head's SOTW

    Been discussed at length on Mercedes190.co.uk. Typically, a sub-£1500 16-valve will look fine on the outside, a little tired inside, and sound like it just needs a damn good thrash. However, it will probably look like this beneath that aero package. Factor in £500+ in welding, plus...

    Top Gear Last Night

    I think the customer is a track-driver 'lite', ie Rich boys who attend every F1 race, want the SL 'Pace Car' image, the toys and relative comfort, but they will likely only track it once or twice a year plus the odd blast down to Le Mans. Everyone knows that you'd choose something else if you...

    Top Gear Last Night

    Not quite the point of luxury baggage. If you ever see LV monogrammed luggage on an Airport carousel, it's almost certainly fake. Prefer Goyard meself. SL65 is already proving a hit at the Nordschleife, Clarkson has missed the point of this car.
