SL63 Tires

As I got my car used, I just realised that the rear wheels & tires are not standard as per factory.




Front 255/35 ZR 19 (96Y) as per factory

Rear 285/30 ZR 20 (99Y) but factory indicates 285/30 ZR19 (98Y)

From Owners Manual

I think someone may have put SLS wheels on your car. I noticed those super thick spacers.

need more info. What car do you have,
these are a staggered set with 19 front 20 rear.
may or may not be standard for your car. Otherwise, the front is right, the rear should be ok. Do they rub anywhere? If not, no problem.

Staggered wheel diameters were introduced in the R231 so these do not appear to be original to your car.

If you can remove one of the rear wheels and check the part number, should offer some clarity.

I know the tire size should work because I had 20 on the rear of a r230
20x10 with 295/30

If the goal is to replicate the R231 AMG staggered setup here are the correct MB specific tires. Pictures taken of my 2017 SL65.
