Alloys
Hi folks newbie here
I currently have a 2011 E250 cdi cabriolet, current alloy set up is front 235/45/17 and rear 255/40/17 offset E45 and E49
I am looking for a change, I've seen 2 sets that I am interested in
Front 225/45/18 Rear 245/40/18 that came off a Cclass w205 offset E44 and E49
next set are Front 245/40/19 and rear 275/35/19 that came off an Eclass
Both geniune Mercedes Alloys
Will both fit OK and are there any pros and cons by either larger or thinner
Black and silver are the w205 alloys

A - Front 235/45/17 and rear 255/40/17
Replacement rims:
B - Front 225/45/18 Rear 245/40/18
C - Front 245/40/19 and rear 275/35/19
When you compare A, B, C width and diameters differences standout.
B > I would not downsize the width and expect any better handling, quite the opposite.
C > Are you positive the 19" tall tires can fit in your wheel well??
How about a big-brake kit to fill in your bigger rims?

Make sure the tires comply with the XL loading 97Y requirement. C class does not have the same loading spec
