The rim is not meant for your model. Skip it unless you die die must get the design

 

For staggered setup follow blackmerc's recommendations

For squared , all four follow front specs.

Ok noted tks for the advice

 Hi

 

With this width will the tyre look under size? Not too sure if front 235, rear 265 will have any rubbing issue?

Come to the any meetup and see it for yrself.

Why 235 / 265 ?? Without lowering spring likely wont rub, i might be wrong. Gd luck.

Probably will be upgraging my rims by this week.I know that 225/255 is the correct tyre size, but worry that it might look abit under size.:-)

If get 19' will try to follow the correct size.... unless it really look bad on it.

 

Cheers

Under size?? I dont think so.

[daffy]

few is on 235/265, including myself...no rubbing issue.

[funman]

Has changed to 19' rims, tyres a little bit of undersize due to the width of the rims 8.5'/9.5'.

Overall I'm satisfy with the new shoes :-). Too bad Daffy reply came abit late...... (just kidding)

 

No worries... Cheers

[daffy]

change again

Mine is 235/35/19" front. 265/30/19" rear.

Both mine and blackmerc fitment looks perfect.

[funman]

No choice la..... In case need to lower the ride :-(. Plus the staff told me that it might have rubbing issue during full wheel left/right if front is 235.

So 235 when steering fully turn on either side, any rubbing issue? Cos the staff told me that will have this problem.

If you are running 19X8.5j ET45 with 235 tyres, most probably no if you did not lower your ride

[funman]

OK thanks.

Hi just to hijack abit is stagger setup good for the rear end stability? For w 204? Am looking at 17 inch but not too sure about the width and offset

[funman]

For 17" is front 225/45, rear 245/40. For rear wheel drive car is good to have staggered set up.

[Ody_2004]

Are the W204 equipped with Run Flat tires? My one month old ride showed "run flat indicator inoperational".. I check the tire wall can't really tell..

[funman]

I think if yours is run flat tyre, u will probably see the indicator of RFT-(run flat tyre), SSR-(self supporting run flat) or ZP-(zero pressure) on the tyre..........Hope I'm not wrong. If not can call your SE to double check.

[keith]

How about the rims can i use back the oem rims to get 245/40?

Yc3333 is correct. I never lower my ride, no rubBing issue. Where did u change ur rims?

[blackmercs]

Its will rub if wrong offset is mounted.

Not recommended. It isnt true staggered setup and probably your tyres will look oversized. Standard 17" staggered specs from MB as follows, but you can run something more aggressive than that.

 

17X7.5j ET47 225/45

17X8.5j ET58 245/40
