18 x 8 rims. What size tires?!?!!
w203 2001 c320, NO sport suspension or brakes.
I am new to this so bear with me.
I bought 18 inch rims, 8 inches wide all around. Now for the tires....
So I am thinking about getting 225/40/18 fronts and maybe 245/35/18 rears.
Is there any advantage of having a wider tire on the rear wheels if all 4 wheels are same width? ( looks?, performance?)
Also, the offset on the new wheels (18x8) is et 30. Do I need spacers or will it fit? I was told by someone with same size rims on same car that they fit fine but you never know.
And last question... How will i know the proper PSI i should have in the new tires when they are put on. Again this is my first time dealing with buying new rims/tires.
Thank you for the help in advance.
