2000 E320 Wheel and Tire help please!!

hi:
I have a W210 2000 E320. I am seriously thinking of change the wheels and tires to the following specs:

Front: AMG Monoblock 17x7.5 with 235/45/17
Rear: AMG Monoblock 17x8.5 with 255/40/17

Now does this rub or does it affect how the car perform in anyways (in term of the accuracy of speedometer, GPS...etc)? Also, Do I need to change the spring or any other parts to accomendate this combination? Thanks!

I agree, they're only 17's so you won't have any problems. The only thing I would question is that the front wheels aren't wide enough for me. I have 19X8.5 in the front and love the way they fit. I also lowered the car but not too much. Just enough to lower the center of gravity to improve the sway and handling and to close up the gap between the tire and the fender. PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you a pic. Good luck with your upgrade...
