Questions from a Noob :)
Hey guys,
Got a '01 C240 Classic needing some new wheels. Was thinking 17"s or 18"s but don't really want to roll my fenders. Would I be able to get away with 18"s without having to roll them or is 17" is my only option?
Also, in consideration of that I was looking at H&R Sport Spring Set: http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/s...01&autoModClar=. It indicates that an alignment kit may be required but is it necessary?
Thanks for your help in advance!

You'd have no problem with 18" rims, or even 19", if the offset is correct. You're going to overtax your little hamster engine, though.

Go with 17s, I loved my car's ride on 17s, but it's gotten a lot "stiffer" with 18s, and the tires for 18s are a LOT more expensive, and harder to find.
