Tire Sizes

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone knew the widest tire size I could put on to a '97 C280 with the stock 15's.

205/60/15....but remember, the wider the tire, the lower the gas mileage. Also less wet traction.

'94 c280
Question

Yeah (Hi I'm Ryan, I've got a completely stock 94' c280)

I'm sizing up to 225/50R16, and tirerack claims 225's work, but I don't really trust it, so I wanted to run it by the post

KurumaGod, you have ne problems with your 225's?
Doug, why only 205's?

I have 245/40 17's on all 4 and don't have any clearance or rubbing issues, on a car that's also lowered alot. I have them on a set of Kosei wheels.

On the Factory 15's I wouldn't go much past 215, but you could probably get 225/50's on the stock 7 inch wide wheels
