thank you.
where did u find that info?
wow, thats not much of a stagger, hmm, seems that 255 rear is a little wide for an 8.5" rear. but who am i to argue with mb engineers right.

probably if you run the same size tire on each, don't know how that will effect your handling though. but i wouldn't run different rolling diameters on a 4matic either.
you could probably go wider tire in front and slimmer in back, maybe 235/40 all around. i don't know

Canadian 4MATIC comes staggered with the 17"... so no need to keep the same size tires.

what is it? kind of confusing on carsdirect but might be 225/45 and 245/40. i didnt do the math but if the rolling diameters are equal or extremely close i could see it working.
Overall Diameter: 24.97 in 634.23 mm
Overall Diameter: 24.71 in 627.63 mm
i guess in theory you could put tire as wide as the wheel can hold as long as the rolling diameters are the same otherwise you might stress your vehicle. thats just my guess on a awd car. the amg 18's stock would be
Overall Diameter: 25.08 in 637.03 mm
Overall Diameter: 25.02 in 635.50 mm
i guess thats close enough.

2300-2500 is a fair price imo for wheels and tires. That's the price point I set mine at as well. I understand people are always looking for a bargain, but these are original AMG parts and is already at a discount at that price. Tires alone are about $1K, so the wheels are really only $1300-1500. This is a bargain.

It may be a little more for BBS or OZ (unless you get the cheaper ugly style), but not if you include the rubbers which will be another $1k and tax if you buy it from a store. $2300-2500 is including good condition tires. Selling my set for $2400..maybe negotiable to $2300 I guess. Including Conti tires with 1k miles on them. Basically comes out to ~$900 for tires and $1400 for wheels ($350 each wheel).

yea, the BBS and OZ will be $2400 or even more ish just with the rims. My BBS RE on my 32 was around $750 each plus tires. lol consider the weight difference I think spending a little more is not that bad. haven't searched on how much does the optional 18" weight.

I would pay some where between $1750-2000 for the 18" optional take offs. oh wellz probably wait a while before changing the wheels. what wheel you gonna get next? ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Unless their in less than new condition, it'll be hard finding a set for < 2k. Considering that you could probably sell stock 17" for 1K, it just wouldn't make economical sense for the seller to sell near new set for less than what they paid for, pay interest for, and waited for. Still, I think around $350 per wheel for near new set and $900 for near new tires is a fair price. As for what wheels I'm going with next...see sig :p
nice choice on the new wheels

RE: AMG 17"
There is a ebay auction right now for a set of AMG 18" for $2,425. I have contacted the seller apparently he has 2 sets and would sell one set for $2,400 straight up. I would buy it if I didn't have a 4Matic..... I am looking now to get 17" AMG if anyone is selling theirs PM me!

And I don't see the seller you're talking about. I see one guy, but he's selling them without tires.

Ah, I see, he posted it on ebay canada. 4 bidders and up to $2,425 with 3 days left. I guess I should do the same as him since looks like most people who want these live in canada. I'd rather keep it off ebay so they can't take a cut.

Yeah, I couldn't upgrade to these when I purchased, I tried hard to pay that extra $1000 for these, salesmen can't add them for me. I went to the dealership and got a quote, $891 per wheel!!!!!
