rims and tires



Hello everyone. I am going to buy these wheels for my SL but I have a doubt that these wheels are compatible for my car. Please I would be very grateful if someone could advise me because I don't want to spend my money and then the tires don't fit in my car. thanks

These wheels are from 09-12 SL and are 19 inch. Previous years SLs have 18 inch wheels. Something to consider....

They will fit, you can put them on. I have 19 on mine right now. 18 were too small. If the previous post is correct - you're fine. You'll find guys with 21" on these cars, but very low tire sizes)) 19" gives a better look.

Check this post, there's a chart with all the sizes from factory that fit the R230:

Well you asked if they'll fit. Yes, they will. Will they look good? It's a matter of preference it's up to you to decide))
