LUKE PLEASE HELP!!!!
will 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 fit without rubbing? This is for 2003 SL500.

I am currently running 255/30/20 and 295/25/20 but it is too rough.

Any thought appreciate. Also, it is running on HRE 20" 545.

Thanks

depends on the weather
245/35-20 and 275/30-20 will work fine with your car but, how wide are your wheels

I think it is 10.5, it should fit fine because I am already running 295/25/20.

I am currently running 255/30/20 and 295/25/20, will changing to 245/35-20 and 275/30-20 make a difference? Will the ride be better and less stiff?

Thanks

I can not tell from those numbers but, the width will most likely be on the stamped back side of the wheel
