SLK350
Yesterday I was checking the tyre pressures on my SLK350 which is fitted with 17 inch wheels. I opened the fuel flap to check what the tyre pressures should be and the sticker in there has the tyre pressures for 18 inch wheels. What size wheels are standard on this model? It is a 2004 SLK350 R171.
 
It should give a list of the available wheel size options that were fitted new in the Drivers Manual.

I've checked on the USA online manual site (only one available) and it lists a choice of 16" or 17". UK spec may have been different, but unlikely.

If you don't have a Drivers Manual, here's the link to the USA one. Scroll down and select the Year and Owners Manual, then the Model.

Very strange, the online manual says 16 or 17 inch rims. The fuel flap gives pressures for 18 inch tyres. Did the factory put the wrong sticker on the fuel flap I wonder?:dk:
