Michelin Pilot Primacy on Staggered Rims
Guys/Gals,
I bought the Kompressor Staggered wheels for my C240 and I can't I think both the front and the rear have to go on a specific side.
Can anyone help me out? I don't want to have to wait another day to put these on and see how they look. I also don't want to install them on the wrong side and suffer the consequences.
Thanks,
Erich

the wider rims go in the rear. 225 front, 245 rear
that tells you the width. the middle number is the percentage of the width which make the height of sidewall, i think.
amazing what you can find on the internet:
P
Passenger car tire. If there is no P before the size it would indicate it is a European metric tire. An LT before the size would designate a light truck tire.
205
This is the Section Width in millimeters. This measurement is taken from sidewall to sidewall.
65
This number refers to the height of the sidewall, or the Aspect Ratio. It is a percentage of the section width. In this example, you would take 65 percent of 205 millimeters and this would give you the sidewall height.
R
Radial tire construction.
15
Wheel diameter in inches.
