19'' vs 18''
what are the cons and pros of both ?
I got 245 35 18 , the guy at the shop told me , that I can put 255 35 18 ,
it will be 0.5 inch wider ,,, is it a good idea? is it enough?
or shall I get 19 '' ?

silver 2002 c32 amg
last time i changed tyres i moved from 245's to 255's this is no hassle change and for me the tyres actually worked out cheaper,but i haven't noticed much difference grip wise and the appearance isn't much different either ,so i'm thinking of going with the 19" wheels and 265 tyres

I dont know what do , I guess i'll do the same as you ... iam thinking of the SL 65 rims 19'' ... does it affect the transmission ratio?
I dont care about comfort as much as handling , road holding and steering feedback...
