R350 Wheel upgrade ?
I have a set of S-class AMG Wheels:
Fronts: A2204011802 ET44 8.5j x 18 H2 245/45/18 tires on it now
Rears: A2204022902 ET xx 9.5j x 18 H2 275/40 /18 tires on it now
It will cost me over $1500 to lower the R so I want to increase the tire size from whats on these wheels now.
Question: What size tire can I get on this wheel ( that still look good ) and still fit the R ?
OEM Wheels/ Tires on it now are 17" w/ 235/65/R17's

p.s. I will get offset on rear wheel tonight and update if/as needed.

depends on the weather
those are definitely the wrong tire size for an R350 and they do not have the proper load capacity and neither do the wheels
the correct tire sizes
front: 255/55-18
rear: 285/50-18
