W211 2006 E500 Tire Question
I just purchased a set of (4) 18x8.5 +35mm offset wheels.
Recommended tire size is 245/40/18, my question is, can I run 255/40/18 all the way around without issue? I'm pretty sure I can, I used an online tire calculator and found the following:
Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile Difference
245/40-18 3.9in 12.9in 25.7in 80.8in 784 0.1%
255/40-18 4.0in 13.0in 26.0in 81.8in 775 1.4%
In doing some research I found that as long as your within 3% difference, I should be fine.
Please confirm my information and add additional recommendations.
Thank you,
