Wider Tires

I'm currently running 265/45/20 on my ML63 AMG. I'm interested in running 295/45/20, will that cause any infractions or rubbing?

Have anyone else changed the tire size on their ML63? If so, how much wider did you go?

A 295/45/20 is a much taller tire than a 265/45/20. You would probably want to run a 295/40/20, so the height of the tire isn't changed.

Thank you, I'm thinking about the changing the entire wheel set. So I haven't changed the tires yet.

Are you in Brooklyn?

Recommended/stock tire size is 295/40/20 so you definately shouldn't have a problem.

Oh hmm, figured it was a w164. Oe for a 13 is 265/45/20 or 295/35/21

Overall diameter is 29.40" for a 265/45/20. Overall diameter is 29.30" for a 295/40/20 so it will definitely work height wise! Shouldn't even notice a difference!
