I'm planning to put these new tires on my E320:
AMG Monoblock wheels
225/45/18 front & 255/40/18 rear

Jimmy had suggested 225/45/18 for the front because I dont' want to lower my car. this will fill up the gap alittle bit better...

I have a 4 months old little baby girl.... and she doesn't like her ride too rough

will this work ok? has anyone done this before?
is it going to rub?
any pics?

thanks

depends on the weather
if your E320 is a w210 chassis then use a 235/40-18 and a 265/35-18 which will maintain the correct diameter and will offer good ride quality .... the sizes you mentioned are about a 1/2" shorter than your car requires ... so, that is not a size I would recommend


I have a 6 week old little girl and she would like the ride on 235/40-18's

you can use an Eibach Prokit and get about 1.5" drop with no major issues
