Luke?: BBS CH on SL55?

Luke

Can you really find out if the BBS CH (18X8.5) will fit on a 2005 SL55AMG?.

As per BBS web site this wheel is not listed for the SL55.

Also instead of mounting a 255/40-18 tire, can a 245/45-18 can be used?

Thanks,

Ricardo

If you're going to use this for your primary...

street application, I dont' think you're going to be happy. It's too small, and the narrower rear wheel just isn't the best look on a 230. If you want to check the application, go to the BBS internation website (google it, I think it's bbs.com now, used to be bbs.de). Just my .02....

depends on the weather
the 18x8.5 fits but, there isn't a wider / staggered fitment fro the rear and you could run the 245/45-18 on all four corners
