C32

Not a big deal. If I could have found some matching 18's for the stock C32 rims I would have put them on the back and put the stock C32 rears on the front.

i did not think u can do different size wheels front to back on a benz? from what i have been told that can make the ESP go crazy because the rotating ratio is all off. and the esp cant adjust to that.

it's just a matter of the reducing the sidewall profile of the tyre to compensate for the increased rim size, thus keeping the rolling radius as close to stock as possible ( a difference of up to 2.5% is typically acceptable)
