no - the overall diameter of the new wheels/tires are only 2% larger than stock, so the difference is negligible

need help matching rims to ride

Hey guys:

Let's see who's the real expert. I've got my eye on these rims for 2001 C 240 with sport package.

http://www.taitungasia.com/images/ri...mall/T-429.jpg

According to the manufacturer these rims have the following specs:

5-108 18x7.5 ETA38.


Will these wheels fit my my car?

Oh God I hope so. I love those rims

any kind of conversion available. I know it sounds extreme, but I love the way these look on the car

hmm, I don't think you want to go through the troubles and cost even if they have any conversion available, ie. vibrations and ride quality.

Shane, I'm going to merge your thread with the "Official Aftermarket Wheel Thread". It's a sticky at the top of the forum. I suggest you take a look at it and you may find something that you like in there.
