18" wheels/tires to 19"

So all my wheels/tires are 18", and I plan on getting 19" AMG aftermarket wheels and 19" sports tires

Could I do that? Or would I need to do something else?

Also should I even buy aftermarket AMG wheels?

You can buy refurbished factory wheels for around $150. They look like new. Google refurbished wheels in Texas. Maybe it’s called RTS Wheels. I bought two for my W204 and was very happy with them. They arrived in four days and shipping was super cheap.

I purchased these from eBay. Even though these are 18’s the seller I believe does have 19’s as well and also others

Make sure that when you buy the new rims that they are OEM rims and not replicas. Replicas are heavy and dangerous.

When you do an 18" to 19" wheel conversion, what has to be done to address any speedometer issues?

Berfore i leased my current 2018 c class I had a 2016 with a very high quality replica amg wheels and didn’t have one problem with them. And I currently have a set on my 18. I do agree that there are some poor replicas out there but that is not the case for all.

Wheel size doesn't determine speedometer accuracy. It's the total diameter of the tire that will determine this. It's more about matching the right sized 19" tire to maintain the same total diameter as the prior 18" tire.
