help with rim/tire size!
Hi guys,

I have a set of 18 inch MSR wheels that were on my BMW 318is....

I am now purchasing a MB c230 kompressor (2003) and was wondering if these would fit.......My rims are 5 bolt and they work with 120mm and 112mm configurations. So I know they will work with the c230 but it looks like the wheel-well is larger than that of the BMW so I don't know if it will look strange?.......

215/35 R18


They looked awesome on my last car, I just hope they will look alright with this one....


any suggestions?...


cheers,
..Paul..

No. Wrong bolt pattern and tire size. For more info please search the W203 forum.

Thanks for the quick reply...


well, my rims work with the 120mm (bmw) bolt pattern AND the 112mm (MB) bolt pattern....

I know the bolt pattern will work. In addition, even the tire size did not go with my 318 but I needed it because it was rubbing......

I was more interested in knowing about the tire size. Sorry, I should have mentioned that in my previous post.....

A lot can be based off the stock tire sizes. Keep your new tire specs as close as possible. The tire you mentioned is pretty meager. Good luck, Mike
