BBS RS-GT 19" - What should I do???
I have a 2003 SL 500 with the AMG sport package. I am interested in the new BBS RS-GT's (19x8.5 Front / 19x9.5 Rear). I would like to go with Bridgestone Potenza S-03 tires, but I don't know what size to go with. Tire Rack recommends 255/35/19 Front with 295/30/19 Rear, but the S-03's don't come in those sizes. Bridgestone does offer 245/35/19 Front with 285/30/19 Rear. What do you think I should do? Also, do you think I will have any rubbing issues with these wheels?
Thanks
Thanks

Sorry about that. I don't know why it's not working.
Try going to The Tire Rack
Then go to Products (Wheels)
Then Browse Brands (BBS)
It's labled RS-GT Bright Sil w/Mach Lip

The officially approved sizes by M-B are 255/35R19 and 285/30R19. Michelin builds this combo in their Pilot Sport model. MBUSA is now offering the AMG Style IV with the Michelin tires as a package. They look great, fit right and most importantly are covered under the MBUSA bumper to bumper warranty

The package is available throught the MBUSA tire program. If the dealer contacts the tire program rep, they can fill him in on all the details. The package is available and the only real option is the low tire pressure sensors which are included at no charge if required. The best place to start is with the parts dept. of your dealer.
