Hi All,
This is my first ever post on a forum.
I got my first MB four months ago, a silver 1999 (facelift) E220 CDI with black leather interior and only 93000 miles on the clock.
I've done 5000 trouble free miles already and love it.
Today i upgraded the alloys to W208 Cygnus alloys:
Front 205 55 R16 7J ET37
Rear 225 50 R16 8J ET32
They seen to fit fine with no rubbing etc., even my existing alloy wheel nuts fit.
The alloys I replaced were W208 Corvus alloys but with 205 55 R16 7J ET 37 front and rear.
I believe the original factory alloys were 215 55 R16 7.5J ET 41 front and rear.
The reason for my posting is because so far i've done 40 miles on the new cygnus alloys, but 5 miles into each of my journeys i get 3 malfunctions, ABS, ESP & BAS.
Never had it before with the old corvus alloys.
Is this a coincidence or do you think its due to my new wheel setup?
The car seems to handle and drive fine...
I am a complete novice and new to mercedes benz.
Can anybody help or offer advice?, yours hopefully...
