2006 C280 4Matic
Tires/Wheels for 06 C280 4matic?

Offered for sale on craigslist:
http://madison.craigslist.org/pts/3778890519.html
17 inch wheels tires 5x112 bolt pattern staggered. The wheels are staggered, 225/45/R17 in the front, with wider 245/40/17 in the back.
Will there be problems with the 4 wheel drive / traction control system on my car with the slightly different diameters of these tires/wheels?

Any help would be appreciated. Newbie here and with MB.
Already got burned $$$$$ with the soft balance shaft but still happy.

No problems regarding the diameters. The rears are fractionally smaller...when you replace, I think 255/40-17 will give same exact dia (don't know why MB always went with the 245/40 combo).

You won't be rotating them...the wheels are staggered and the tires are directional. Each wheel should only be mounted in one corner.
