I'm Pete, from Thailand. I'm currently driving W220 s280.
Are there any possible ways to put in 9.5 +35 wheel (235/35/20 or 245/35/20)in the front and 9.5 +15 in the rear(255/35/20 or 275/35/20).

Thx!

too wide, too low offset. it's possible if you're ready to make fender modifications. even then, it probably won't look "right"

Im running 20x9.5 (255/30/20) front and 20x10.5 (285/25/20)

Works fine if u do fender rolling and slight bit of pull. Trust me it doesnt look weird haha.

Arnee

The fronts will rub with 9.5" and +35mm but yes, the fender has to be worked on.

He's talking +15mm offset for the rear with a 9.5" rim.

What are your offsets? Your wheels look great, no doubt. But it's all about the offset. I don't know if you posted your in your other thread but your offsets are probably +37mm front and +35mm rear or in that neighborhood.

ShangoAshe

+45 front +35 rears

That's even better.

I was running 20x9.5 +37mm fronts before and needed fender work.

So now he's talking 20x9.5 +35mm fronts and 20x9.5 +15mm rears.

The rears WILL stick out.

ShangoAshe

Yah that wont work...

You sure that little motor will even spin those things?

squidzler

So if I can't put those in, what should be the exact size of the rims 8.5+35 9.5+35 ?? And 245 35 for the front and 275 35 for the rear??

For my 9.5 rims, will rolled fender be enough to put those in? how about tire size 235/35/20 on the front and 245/35/20 on the back will it be enough??


Btw, thx for every answers and sorry that my English is bad.

tusabes

Your English is fine!!! Very good.

Yes I would Get the size you mention above to avoid fender rolling and rubbing

squidzler

There is one more thing I would like to know,

I saw many of you guys driving, s430, 500, AMG

What are the price for the first and second hand s500/600 and 55amg there both first and second hand, because here in Thailand, first hand s280 when it came out, the price was around 200,000 USD. and will go higher base on the option list, for the second hand, it's still cost around 60,000 USD. for the SWB 280. The new w221 is even worse, the first hand, smallest engine will cost around 335,000 USD. Don't mention about the AMG, way more expensive. it will be great if the price is not this high in Thailand, even the price is high, i can still see the exotic around, which most of them start at 600,000 USD. and i wish i could have a chance driving it once.....

Arnee

squidzler, take those numbers and divide by 3. It's a good rule when comparing US prices to Asian market prices.

It's a good estimate but will of course vary depending on the country, options, etc.

ShangoAshe

+1

tusabes

hmm, are there high importation taxes?? Seems one can make HUGE money reselling these cars in Asia?

stevedel

I've been running 20x9.5 et35 with falken 245/35 for almost 2yrs with stock fenders and the car is pretty low for a daily driver.

squidzler

Import tax to Thailand is very high I guess 200 percent or something.

For 9.5+35, for both front and rear???? All wheels? Thx for the answer... .

stevedel

Yes, all 4 wheels. Here's the best picture I have to show the fitment.
