Wheels ( help )
Hey Guys,
Please,I need a suggestion.I hate myself for doing this, but I did it...I've bought a set of OEM AMG 17' wheels on E-bay from Wheelexchange,BUT I automaticly assumed that they were staggered
and they aren't...17'x7.5 all four.Tell me, how do the rear wheels would look like if I would put 245x17 tires ( my stock tires )would that effect anything,or I could put a spacers, or what should I do ?
Regards,
Serg

they should just fit. i think 7.5 is the smallest width you can put 245 on a 17inch rim. to be more sure go to the tire manufacture's website and look up the specs for that particular tire and it will indicate how wide the rim has to be in order for the tire to fit.

Even tho they would fit 245s I would suggest you get the 17x8.5 rears and sell two 17x7.5. They really don't look that good w/o staggered setup. My sis has 17x7.5 all around on her 00 CLK320 and the rear looks mad weird because of it.
