Help with wheel and tire selection


Hi I am new to this forum and hoping someone can help me understand about 19” wheels and tires. I just purchased 2017 W205 AMG sports with 18” wheels, I am planning to purchase 19” Savini MB16, they are staggered fronts 19x8.5 and rears 19x9.5. Does anyone know anything about these wheels in terms of quality and what tire size (front and back) should I get to minimize the impact on speedometer?

Never heard of them.
As long as the outside diameter of the tire is the same as stock it won’t change the speedometer reading.

Thanks. I was told by Mercedes dealer that if I use a different wheel specs, it may trigger 2 sensors lights. Is this true?

If you have a TPMS car, and don't install the sensors in the new rims, yes, you'll get TPMS warnings.

Other than that, there shouldn't be any warnings
