three 19's and one 17???
Currently, I have 19inch HREs on my CLK500 and have to send the front right back to HRE for repaint. My question is that will it be safe if I use my stock 17inch wheel/tire as a "spare" to drive home from the tire shop and back? So I would be running three 19 inch wheels with one 17 inch. Is this a bad idea?
I did a seach and came up with this thread... https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...ght=spare+tire
I also read the post regarding overall diameter, but not sure what mine are.
The tire in question is 235/35/19 but not sure about the stock tire size...225/45/17 does that sound right?

depends on the weather
the 235/35-19 rotates 817 times every mile and the 225/45-17 rotates 833 times every mile so, the 17 rotates 16 more times each mile. While not a huge difference the traction/yaw control will not like it but, it shouldn't cause any problems
