19's on a SLK is insane. 18's look perfect on it.

He's talking about the R170 not R171. 19's are pushing it for it, but it's not impossible.

Hi!

Most SLK drivers over here agree that 18 inch is the max for the R170 that still looks ok. 19 inch might be possible but looks to big. I'm getting 18 inch wheels on my 32 this week. Some minor mods to the chassis are already necessary for the 18 inchers!

Regards

Thomas
