I want to go back to 17" mono's
Really thinking about going back to my 17" mono's I got new BF Goodrich's on All for corners on the 18" mono's. I have no idea what to sell the whole setup together for. I want to put on the17" Mono's because I think the car will ride smoother and will be a little lighter. Basically just wanna chg. What do u guys think?

i like the 17" monos, i have debated with putting some 18"'s on but for the cost involved and everything the 17"s are fine they still look good and yeah i think the ride would be a bith harsh on the 18"s

i went to 17s for the winter and felt a huge relief from the 18 monoblocks...although i do like the aggressive 275 rear tires....

how about 17s front and 18s rear?

If those are 18's in your sig then I say keep em,,, Your C55 is one of the sickest W202's, very tasteful

Get a set of 17" monoblocks and have the front 7.5's stretched to 9.5-10in for the rear. Then use the 8.5 rears as the front.

I was going to do this before I got my SL' and there is wheel guy on board here that qouted me a decent price to.

How much and will they rub once stretched? Plus remember the stck rears have a nice lip while the fronts don't.
