If you drop to a 225 in the front, you should also drop to a 255 in the rear. This evens out the rolling diameter.

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.

 

shakes gonna be jelous


looks good




ALi

 

wheels on order! 19s

 

Looks good. Post the pics when you got the 19"

 

Are those 19s the sakata 5 TSW's? Those are the wheels im getting for my c230. Can you do them all around?

 

you mean photoshop it all the way around or..... you think he only has a rear set on?

sorry, not makin fun, just wonderin lol



ALi

 

.

 

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.

 

well i went through a third party retailer so im goin on their recommendations. my source on here is from a guy that is running 18 inch estorils. so we will see how much difference an inch makes. the wheels you have seems like they have a dramatic curve outward near the caliper area. i think you have smaller calipers than me also

 

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.

 

MUAH HAHA!

nice lips! mucho sexo!

j/w tho, are those 2 last pics PS'ed? or do the tires really stick out that far?

oh, isht, they are ps'ed. i didn't see your stockies the first time!

are you selling them btw?

 

miller lite? oh god, that's it. unsubscribed.

 

no im not selling them crazy. i just got them

 

I think he meant your stockies cause he's looking for rims...
Those rims look soo good I love them, they are gonna look so good on the MidnightKompressor

 

thanks man. o no im not selling my stocks. im keeping em around incase of harsh winter weather. u wouldnt want them anyway, my left front has a crack and the rest are curb rashed from the previous owner

 

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?
