Wheel width
Luke,
at present I have an MY07 E350 with the sport package - 18" wheels. Wheel width F/R 8.5"/9". Looking at some of your AMG specials. What would I encounter by going to this F/R 9"/9.5" with the same OEM tires? From your pricing this makes the most sense; more so then going with a 8" or 8.5" replacement on the front. I would prefer to maintain a staggered setup: 8"/9", 8.5"/9", 8.5"/9.5" would be my preferences. Can stand 9"/9.5" (best $ deal) but 8"/9.5" would be too much.
Thanx

depends on the weather
the widest wheel we recommend for your w211 is an 8.5" ... any wider an your car will tend to tramline or wander when encountering grooves and rutsd in the roadway
