Question Wheel and tire for R350

Hi newbie here,

I am planning to buy the R350 in the next week or so sand hope to talk the dealer to trade in the 17" stock wheel and tires.

Anyway, I am looking for 19" or 20" (most likely) wheels with width 8.5F and 9.5R. Can you tell me what are the offsets for the wheels?

Also, what are the tire sizes for 19" or 20" wheels? I definitely don't want the wheel and tire stick out from the car and want to keep the stock low profile look. More importantly is I don't want to scratch the wheel from the curb.

Thank you so much.

will the dealer also provide the new rims? trade-in implies that the dealer will take the old wheels in exchange for new ones (from them). Your post is not clear. I doubt a dealer will take off your old rims in exchange for nothing and not upgrading with them. If the dealer buys back the OEM setup they will give you hardly nothing. If the delaler is also providing the new ones they will/should be puttng the correct rims and offset.

I think you should keep the OEM wheels and purchase aftermarkets ones on your own, you will most likely take a bath on letting the dealer get you aftermarket wheels, and also you will not have OEM's for the winter, etc etc

If you have any questions on custom crafted 19 or 20" wheels feel free to PM or email me (info in sig)
