AMG wheels
I am about to buy AMG style 203 5-spoke 2 pc. wheels.
18x8.5 in the rear and 18x7.5 front.
My question is: since the recommended tire size for the rear wheels is 255/35-18, would these tires have an effect on my odometer? If so, how much?
Also, I would like to know the advantages of a 2 pc. wheels vs. a one-piece wheel?
Thank you all!

two piece vs. one piece
I hear that the two piece wheel is a little bit stronger than its counterpart. Although this might just be some assumpution. It's also more expensive than the single piece and you have to like the little holes all over the entire circumfurence of the wheel too.

The 255/35-18 tires are 25.0275" in diameter and the 225/45-17 tires are 24.972" in diameter. The .055" difference will have no effect on the speedometer accuracy. Production runs of 225/45-17 will vary more than .055". Besides, the first time you lay a little rubber, the tires will be the same diameter.
