Red face Upgrading to 19" AMG Wheels - SL55 - What tyre sizes?

Hi all,

Going to buy a set of these today to replace my boring turbines!:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19-AMG-MER...item415eb49e83



Pretty sure they are the late spec 2007 onwards SL55 Alloys.

Can anyone confirm if they are the correct wheels for late spec SL55's, part numbers as follows:

8.5" x 19" et25 A2194011502
9.5" x 19" et28 A2194011602

Are those the correct sizes / offsets / part numbers for SL55?

Think I need the staggered set with larger 9.5" rear?

Can someone tell me what tyre sizes should be fitted, I don't want any larger than stock to retain some ride comfort. What are the stock 19" tyre sizes?

Let me know when you can guys, they will be going on a silver SL55 and I will be painting them anthracite (dark grey), with a carbon boot spoiler and carbon front splitter I think they will compliment the car nicely! What you guys think?

Many thanks,

Toby

Those are the CLS offsets, although the differences between them and the SL versions is marginal. The correct offsets should be 31 front, 30 rear.

Many thanks, are they likely to stick out a little further?

Although only marginal wouldn't I be better to get the correct offsets from day one?

All the best..

I'm running CLS wheels on my 2004 SL600. They are the same size and style as the rims you posted, only chrome.

I'm running 255/35/19 up front and 285/30/19 in the rear.
