275/35/18 rears (on C32)
Too wide?
I'm looking at a set of 18"'s for my C32 (yes, my 17" wheels have some nice dings...and I'd like to have a slightly larger wheel).
The package I'm looking at has 245/40/18 front and 275/35/18 rear with Dunlop DZ101's on them.
Are those 275's going to be too wide? I think I've read on here that 255's are the widest we can go.

And for an SL actually as well...that what the wheels were for.
I take it 275's won't go on our C32's in the back?

275/35 will be hard to fit onto a W203 without fender mods....
Before you pull the trigger and buys the dunlops....take a look at the Nitto invos. I have 12000 miles on them and absolutely love them for the money. I even took them to cal speedway for some fun. Best bang for the buck IMHO.

You will have to cut the **** out of the inside of the fenders to fit 275's, with 265's I still rub. 245/40 are way too tall for the front and will rub on turns.
You need a 10" wheel for the 275's 9.5 work perfect for 265.
