btw make sure ur rear rims spec is for 255 size tyre

Actually got a rims upgrade from SE , but what he is telling now is size is at Front 225 / 40 / 18 - 7.5 J , Rear 245 / 40 / 18 - 8.5 J ..

If 8.5 J , dun think can fix 255 , so need to be 9 J ????

Any experts can help ???

oh can u tell me what car is it for btw?

for SLK200 i think 245 is enuff for FC and traction... with the 350 Power u will need more grip

i dunno what MB is thinking with the skinny stock tyre... even my mom drive will lost traction... :censored:

the reason SE tell u that 245 is the max is because they want to follow the specs given to them.(Paper with numbers)

in actual fact...http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp it can be done

i remember asking my SE about changing my rim to the AMG 55 but he also say cannot la, better keep stock for "safety reason" :yawn:

they only dun want to do troublesome things.

Also how come both profile is 40F 40R?

our SLK is noseheavy so we need more front profile 40(to support the weight -I believe-) and lesser rear 35 to make it balance.

if u could look at the side profile of the whole car, it quite slanted where the front is lower then rear
