I have a W212 AvantGarde suspension with 17 inch wheels - 8.5 x 17 all round.
The tyres are all 245/45/17 = Avon ZV7
I would describe the ride as firm but very comfortable.
However - the wheels to me look a bit small for the proportions of the car and am thinking about changing them to an 18 inch wheel - probably 8.5 and 9.5 on rear.
There are several wheels in 19 inch that also appeal but I have concerns about how the lower profile tyres may affect comfort - any experience of changing wheels and tyre profiles?
I would need to go from 17/45 - to 18/40 or 19/35 profiles.
