Put on new wheels and tires



Just put new wheels, 8.5” wide by 20” tall and they have a plus 35 off set. The tires are 255/40/20 Michelin Pilot AS 3s. I have H&R lowering springs and have no issues with rubbing. The speedometer is only off by 1/2 mile at sixty. I would have loved to do a staggered set up but the vehicle is a 4matic.

Being 4Matic is not an issue, as long as the rolling diameter of the tires from front to rear is within 1%.

BTW, your ride looks great!

Thanks. I did a lot of playing around on the wheel and tire calculator to see if I could come up with a combination that would work for me, and just couldn’t find a wheel that I liked. I would have liked to put 275s on the back but the 8.5 wouldn’t really support that.
