2005 SL500 WHEEL FITMENT
HELLO ALL
will 18 x 8 1/2 all around with 245/45/18 rubber all around create issues for my 500sl 2005? default fitment calls for the staggered set up with tires that measure
26" to 26.15"
with the new tire size of 26.6 to 26.65 (an increase of about one half inch in outside diam sizing) cause an issue to our very sensitive suspension technology
i know it may cause a less than 1.5% velocity reading, but i would like to know if there will be any mechanical issues
thanks in advance

Hi
With that particular style of wheel, given the undoubted high cost, I would like to see two right hand wheels and two left hand wheels so that the car looks more balanced.
A passer by may not notice but it would annoy me intensely.
If you don't know what I'm waffling on about look at two photos below that I modified
