C63 RIMS ON W203 C CLASS

Hi Guys...

I just wanted to show you my new rims.. C63 AMG Rims reps that incredibly fitted fantastic on my C200 Kompressor...

Measurements:

Front: 9.5" 225/40 R18
Rear: 10.5" 245/40 R18

There is absolutely no rubbing and the car runs great-- Will be adding new pics soon, tell me what you think and what should you change on my ride..

i like the rims. but i think the tire size is to small for the rim size 10.5 should have a 290-315mm. 9.5 wheel 255-285....how does it ride with the tires you have now?

The ride is fantastic... I cant notice any difference with previous 16" 205/55.

Actually the tires are a little small, but they look great. I bought that size since in Venezuela this type of tires are very difficult to find. And I only found these with the front pair.

As I said in the first post, they are reps.. Hi Quality reps from Germany..

I bought them because I did not find the oem ones... Paid 1350 EUR for this set.

9.5" and 10.5" as they usually prefer in Germany.

No haters please!

Please notice:

I only needed to add new bolts... Longer than the original ones...

The car was aligned and balanced perfectly... Reached 140mph with no vibration at all...

I don't undestand your behavior dude, and I don't like it...

I edited THE REAR TIRE SIZE, because I said it was 245 and when I took some new pics I see 240.. If you can read and be a little smart, I edited the first post 23 minutes after I replied your post about replica rims.

I will be getting 265 tires for the rear rims at tirerack.com, would somebody tell me if the site is trustable?

I agree, and to the OP, I would be a bit concerned about your safety with a tire mounted on a rim 1" larger than the max allowed for that tire.
IMHO a 245 really shouldn't be mounted on any wheel wider than 9.5".
On my Z28, I have 17x10 with 275's up front and 315's out back. The 275's are tight enough on 10"... I can't imagine 245's on 10.5"

With that said, the right width tire will yield the right height (aspect ratio) and that will look real nice!

265/35/18 will work.
The Tire Rack is where I buy all my tires. They are very good!
