I'm thinking about getting 18" brabus monoblock V for my 2005 C230 kompressor.

I saw a set with tires ($1500) and the problem is the tires are
245/40/18 Front and 275/35/18 Rear.

I think it is too big according to many threds here but want to know if anyone have tried it without modiying the car.

Or should I buy the set sell the tires and buy new tires?

Thanks guys,

That's real wide.

This will be perfect for your ride. Try to check with him on price and its 19's already. I run on the exact same thing. Sitting on stock suspensions. no rubbing whatsoever

the manual is saying 225/45/17 F 245/40/17 Rear.

Cool!, no rubbing whatsoever is tempting!. how about performance, do you feel any change in maneuvering character? just wonder

Nope. Nothing at all. You just feel more of the road..in example bumps etc...but nothing like a drastic change..Our car is pretty low already too that's why, but coming from the 17's to my 19's now, i'm a lot happier, and it looks nice too. bigbodybenz wheels will look sick on yours since yours it will look black on black..
