Luke: Tire sizes for AMG 18" wheels on '97 SL600
Hey Luke (or someone else),
I bought a set of Factory AMG rims off e-bay supposedly off a r129 SL500 (below)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...0440%26fvi%3D1
They need a set of tires and I like the Kumho's, but I noticed Tire Rack's site is giving me the following sizes: 245/40ZR18 & 275/35ZR18
The Rims are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 (unsure of offset) and they currently have:
255/40R18 & 285/35R18.
What tire sizes should I be looking for to work with these rims and my car?
The Kumho's aren't offered in the sizes that are currently on my wheels. What are my options? Do either sizes work? Kumho's are in my price range and I've heard a lot of good bang for buck feedback.
Thanks Much!
Dreux
