newbie to rims tires w211
Hey everyone,
I'm pretty tired of my rims and thought I'd move up in the world but finally realized that I can't just slap any ole rims on like I did the last time. I've been looking at hre's but wondered just how accurate the fitment pages are on their website.
here's the link
http://www.hrewheels.com/showroom/?m...20%26%20after#
I like the c20's. Anyone have any suggestions for me? Different model. Tire size? rim size? Offset? Do I really need to know these things? I did a search but there's too many posts that don't cover exactly what I'm looking for.
Since this is a tire rack forum, any thoughts from a tire rack member? Thanks.

HRE is probably considered the best in the business so whatever fitment they recommended and build is going to be the ultimate fit. There are many styles for W211 on www.tirerack.com and they only post what fits without modification or problems. Good Luck.

okay, forgive my ignorance as I have been informed that hre's are custom made. So for a 2003, e500 with 19x8.5F and 19x10R rims, what are the recommended tires sizes? Thanks!
