You want to put SMALLER tires on to make the rims look bigger?! Not only is that unsafe but it's gonna look like shlt. If you want your rims to look bigger buy bigger rims

ok, i know what your talking about, i have thought about it to. I have no idea why u are getting flamed so much. I would like to see how the 17' AMG rims look with low profile tires and at h&r super sport drop, I think that would look great. anyone got a pic, or photoshop?

I don't think you will like it. It may make it appear as if you have the wrong wheels on the car. If you lower it and want the AMG wheels to fill out the wheel wells better, install spacers. That's what I did. It doesn't make them look like they have a bigger diameter, but it makes them look more substantial. I used 5mm on the rears and I may use 3 -5 mm on the front after I lower it. You can also try wider tires. Again, the diameter may not look larger, but it will be a satisfying appearance. I think when the W204 is lowered and the stockies are left on without spacers, they look sucked in. Smaller tires will enhance the sucked in look.

haters.... nah but like everyone says the biggest u can go is dubs so and the amgs are like 18s right.. but i wasnt clear on what i wanted like... i want to dump it but those amg rims are straight and damn u gotta spend like 5gs for some rims that will look super clean , and if u dont drop like 5gs u will get like rims that already look like the amgs but anyways... if i slam it i thought it would look better if the tires were a lil smaller and give it that low profile look or whatever.. u know what i mean... i think "got thang's" ride looks like its not the factory tires but he got amg rims right? i ono **** it...
