Question Mille Miglia Bello Wheels

Hello Luke, I like the simple look of the Bello wheel. I have a '99 W210 and I was wondering if I could up the rear tire size to a 265/40-17? I would still run 235/45-17s in the front. My main fear is that the wider tire in the rear may rub on the inside.

Thanks,

Rob Lee

Thanks Luke, I realize the Bello wheel comes in a single width, but would the 265/40-17 clear in the rear? The Tirerack web site does not state the offset of the 17X8 Bello, I assume it is 35mm. Also, I realize that the 265 on a 8in. rim is probably the minimum width allowable, and the side walls may round off or bulge, but I could live with that if this combo will fit.

Thanks,

Rob Lee
