Yup - Those are the sizes.

I might switch from 225's in the front to 215's now.

You won't need to switch from 225's to 215's if you installed the spacer kit I sent you

No - you'll need to get a smaller sidewall.

i guess here is wut i decide on.
i will put 18s up front, 20s at the back
front i will run 215/40/17
back i will run 215/40/20

wut do yall think??


i figure since the back you can do 235/45/18 it also means 20s should squeeze in no probelm!!
we will see how it goes.. pix to come!

95 e320, 01 c5 vette
18f/20r in my opinion will look weird. i see some of the vette guys run 18/20 weld coombos on the c5 and the 2 in difference distorts the look and lines of the car. but then again, it is your car and whatever you like best should be the way its done on your car.

Nice choice, I like the black center go 18's all the way around. It won't look right with 20's in the rear. The W124 is box shaped the dragster look, bigger rims in the rear look better on more wedge shaped sportier cars.
