i know most guys are running a 8.5 inch wheel up front and the wheels i want are 8. should i go down to a 225 up front maybe? i called a place and gave them the above listed sizes and they said all that they can really get to match is the michelin pilot sport pr2. anyone running these? what tire do you all recommend
As for whether you need to or not, I'm not sure. Best way to find out is call a shop to see if a 235 tire will fit on a 8.0 wheel.

haha sadly this is true. must be the way the light is reflecting off the rear window.
the wheels are tsw estorils, i am doing 19s staggered. ive been told on here that i will have to run atlest a 5mm spacer up front but the place i got them from assures me they will clear the caliper. we shall see

I had a good experience with the TSW factory recommended fitment. I bought the TSW Laguna's in 18's with a staggered fitment and they worked out perfect for my 02 C240. I'm also running Tein Basic and have had no rubbing problems.

If you do a google search on TSW Wheels some of the retailer have the factory fitment guides available on their websites. You can look up your model for a fitment. They also recommend tire sizes for the wheels. It might be of some help to you.

well i layed the wheels up on the car today. the fronts will need a spacer. they barely rub the caliper. the backs are fine. im gonna do some searches on here for the hubcentric h&r spacers. if anyone knows a good place to find them please let me know.
Question: with hucentric spacers do i need to have the measurement for the inside of the wheel so that they will fit properly?
