HighProfileTyes

What are the highest profile tyres that you can put on a 19inch wheel.
They are on a 2006 Cls 320 Diesel.

The rim size and tyre options should be shown on the tyre pressure label inside the fuel filler cap and in the handbook. The outside diameter of the wheels with any combination of rims and tyres has to be kept constant for safety and stability, and for example to prevent tyres from catching wheel arches. If you want higher profile tyres you need to get some smaller rims.

Agree with V6GBJ and tyres will probably cheaper

And better suited to our roads, and make the ride more pleasant...but they won't look cool

If you want to stick with the original diameter rims, you can put any (available ) profile on you want.

Just remember the different rolling radius when a cop car is following you...

To fit higher profile tyres- you need to fit wheels a couple of inches in diameter down . 19 down to 17 say- however depending on brake disc/caliper size there may be a lower limit to wheel diameter before fouling occurs.

Usually find up to 315mm for 16" and 345mm for 17" .

Yea I went down my local tyre fitters earlier and he said that going down to 17s would probably affect the brakes he said that I could go down to 18s but it would only give me 10% more comfort. As I have Amg wheels and just had them refurbished I think I will stick with what I have

Look at the gap between the front brake callipers and wheel.
My CLK had 17 now 16 inch.
