255/40 R17 or 245/40 on C124?
Hi!
I bought AMG Monoblock II.
Front rims are 7,5J-17 ET35
Rear rims are 8,5j-17 ET30
My car is equiped with ASR.
Is it possible to set 255/40 tires on rear wheels without modifications?
Or should I install 245/40? In this case, I'll have problems with ASR, won't I?

lots of cars
Well, is your car lowered? If not, you can fit 20s on it. 245/40 should be ok, 255s i would roll the fenders.The rear is really soft and if you have people in the car they will rub.

I got the exact same sized rims and I think I'm going with 245-40-17 for the rear and 225-45-17 for the front.
Given that the rear rim is 8.5" wide, will the 245mm wide tire sit square with the edge of the rim? I want to avoid the tire looking like it's bulging or like it isn't wide enough..

I'm currently at stock ride height but will consider a very slight drop when I update the suspension (maybe around a 0.25" to 0.5" drop). So would a 45 aspect ratio work for the 225's?

So I got my AMG Monoblocks on but the bolts stick out!!! I wonder if the bolts I have are even the stock bolts or if they are upgraded since my california chrome rims seem a bit wider than what's stock...

225/45/17 is ok if you go down with the car.
it is normal height on sportline and amg suspension.
but for the back you need 245/40/17
