on a set of 18 inch rime will 275 35 18 and 235 40 18 work or will it rub?

Harris

It depends on:

1. offset of the wheel
2. brand of tire

Normally, it will rub with 275 rear.

pirelli p neros with an offset of32

Harris

Pirelli tires have a more squared sidewall, therefore.....

225/40/18 and 255/35/18 will guarantee to be rubbing free.
235/40/18 and 265/35/18 will be very tight.
235/40/18 and 275/35/18 will probably rub and have to roll the fenders.

when i put the 18..(225/40/18 255/35/18)
should i change anything else??
or just take off the 17'and put the 18 that it??

FrankW

the tires are the correct upgrade sizes, so should be just off w/ the 17 and on w/ the 18. that's wat i did for mine.

smgC32

To eliminate the rubbing potential, purchase an equally appropriate wheel size of 18x8 fronts, and 18x9 rears with 235 40 fronts and 255/265 35 rears. You could even run 245's up front without any problems.

Pirelli's tread width are usually narrow allowing a larger width number to be run, while the Bridgestone's run much wider requiring a narrower width to be run. ie; a 235 Rosso is about equal to a 225 S03.

i asked dealer today...they say if i change the 18....if have any porblem they will not covered in warritary..

Harris

What kind of warranty can they void? And what kind of problems will you have? Dealers are always full of *****.

QINQIN

yes u r right...
they say i can use the 18 '(which in the showroom---4999 for a
set)
but i like the BBS...lighter....and goodlooking...
the MB rim too heavy..
if i change the BBS rim outside
,they can do nothing in my warritarty right??

Harris

Most BBS wheels will not clear the front AMG calipers, except the one that I have on my car and the one evosport uses on their 32. If you change your wheels to any aftermarket ones, the only warranty that they can void are your tires and wheels (which you took them out already).

QINQIN

thx a lot....i will never trust what the dealer say.....
-----BBS RW II 8.5 x 18 silber/pol. RW 504
should i put the same size front and the rear??
will this RWII clear the front AMG calipers??

Harris

I dont think so.

QINQIN

i see ,so u mean i can take off the 17"and put the BBS 18" on..

Harris

No, the BBS will not clear the AMG calipers. You need to add spacers, which I always dont suggest.

QINQIN

so u mean the factory 18" is better for my car??

QINQIN

if i want to put this rim to my car...i mean 18" ...is it fit my car??or should i add spacers??or it's ok???

s4iscool

eew they are kinda ugly. we need more info like offset mainly and what size tires and what model you want to run

QINQIN

my car is 2002 C32 AMG
i want to put BBS rim and the size is 8.5 x 18(front and rear)
the tire i use is Pilot® Sport PS2...

can i just take off my 17" and put the this rim on my car?

s4iscool

just make sure the bolt pattern is the same, and the offset is the the range of stock. If you do 8.5 all around are you planning to run same tire size on all 4 corners?

QINQIN

225 on the front and 255 on the rear i think it's better...
