Hi everyone! Just leased a new EQB350 to replace our 7 yr old Leaf. I am loving the car but I want to put the 18s from the EQB250 for looks and a slightly better ride w.o run flat tires
does anyone know if the EQB350 has the same brakes as the 300 and 250 that can be optioned with the EQB250 wheels?
I'm assuming you currently have the 19" wheels with the 235/50R19 tires? You would be better off selecting a different tire than changing the whole setup. If you currently have the 235/50R19 RF tires than opt for some 225/55/19 non RF tires. Buy using a more narrow tire you can increase the sidewall profile of the tire and use the same wheel.
I'm almost certain the brakes are the same on the 300 and 350 are the same. I run 18's on my 300 in the winter with Nokian snow tires...8.5 x18 MB rims from a different vehicle. With Nokain snow tires, the EQB is a winter monster.
Or check in Europe for what wheels are offered new...they almost always have smaller diameter wheels on offer, as they are not into the big is better wheel dynamics like in the US.
