Hello everyone I have mercedes e350 cdi w212 2011
Can I fit alloy wheels 17 inch with tyres 225/50/17
The car is with normal suspension
 
The OE spec is 245/45 17 XL
Alternative is 245/40 18 XL front with 265/35 18 rear XL.
Up to you if you wish to change aspect ratio. But if you are softer ride then different tyres do have different ride characteristics. But I haven’t perceived any differences in tyres
 
It would help if you could clarify:

Is your main objective to change wheel size to 17 ?

Or is your main objective to check that specific tyre specification?

It would help to understand why you want to make the change and what you have on there at the moment.
 
Tyre and wheel sizes are all on your fuel flap.
 
I'm with 245/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear
I want to put 17inch with a bit bigger tyres
Car will be more comfortable
I think to fit 245/45/17 front and rear
Or 225/50/17 front and rear

But my question is CAN I FIT THAT SIZES
Is everything will be OK with suspension or they will touch somewhere on it
 
If you stick to the standard tyre and wheel combinations as stated on the fuel flap then you shouldn’t have a problem as long as your 17 wheels have the correct offset.
