SL500 R230
SL500 rim size and tire size
Hi. I'm from Germany, and all mods to car must be approved by authorities.
So my front wheels are: 245/35/19 10.5J ET32The tire size should be 265/35, so my question is will 10.5J and 265 tire fit in the r230? It also has 20mm spacers.
Rear wheels are 12.5J and it has 285/30 tires





Thanks.

I think you'll probably need to go to thinner spacers. Information in this thread may be helpful, especially post #11.
