correct tyre size for 17 staggered monos

[jgs600]

right ive got myself a set of 17inch amg monoblocks which are staggered too.

7.5j fronts and 8.5j rears.

as i will be dropping the car in the future with a 40mm H&R set up what tyres sizes should i be looking at to fit on these.

cheers

oh and can someone please explain why they seem to fit 45s on the front and 40s on the back... is this the norm..!!

These should be 225/45 17 on the front and 245/40 17 on the rear.

thats great thanks, would a 40mmm drop make any difference.

My C280 estate came with these wheels from the factory and the front arches were rolled. What trim level is your car? Mine was a Sport and would be a bit lower than standard, at a guess 20-30mm.

Yes , it's the norm.

It's to keep the rolling radius the same , so as not to upset the sensors / cruise etc

 

[jgs600]

well mine is a standard c250 elegance, think they had 15" on originally. at the moment im running 18"amgs.

 

[Howard]

Why are you getting rid of the 18's and putting 17's on ?

My 18s are not staggered and they are powder coated black which im not sure about. .so was thinking of fitting genuine 17 inch staggered ones instead. In silver with a polished lip...!!!!!
