2012 E550 Cab
19's or 18's for rear
Am ordering a set of wheels for my fresh E550 cab and was wondering if there might be some advantage to going with 19'' in the rear as opposed to sticking with the 18's. As always your comments are appreciated.

wider rears look awesome as hell....and more grip too eh?
no rotating though.......maybe side to side.....
I think it would look nice on the cab...

If so, it will look quit good but will kill your handling and ride - car will be unbalanced with 1/2" shorter rear sidewall if you use stock diameter, or rear will be 1" taller diameter if you'll use same sidewall hight front and rear tires.
Cars that do use taller rears, from the factory, are designed for that and use different front and rear diameter wheels with tires. Not for Mercedes though.
