What are the widest tyres I can fit on my wheels?

[100%Bitch]

I have the wheels here: -

What are the widest tyres I can fit on these rims?

I have some 275s on some spare wheels and would like to put them on my rear wheels if I can. At the mo I have 235s fitted.

Those wheels were made to take the 245x45 tyres, and that was the size supplied from new

275 are what come standard on the LTD EDT 129, you need to have a 9 - 10 inch wide rim to put them on.......

 

[Chris Murray]

You wouldn't want to use anything but the size Malcolm said: 245/45R17

Thanks guys, I appreciate your advice.

I do have a spare set of wheels to put on it but have decided that they are too scruffy. Looks like it's going to be a set of 17" x 9" & 10" staggered rims or a set of 18" with tyres that I need to buy then. At least I will recoup some of the cash from the 2 sets I have.

Ebay here we come unless anybody out there has any going cheap.

The wheels you put up in the pic earlier, were one of 4 options offered as of 07-98

 

[100%Bitch]

What were the other options?

 

[television]

Sorry its the wrong way up, i cant move the scanner.


I have the 1998 sales book if you want it for £10 near mint condition

 

[100%Bitch]

Sounds like an offer I can't refuse. It may well give me some other ideas, after all it's worth holding onto isn't it?

How can I get the money to you?

Malcolm,

Could you make a space in your box - so to speak.

It says you're full.

Helen,your book went first class today

 

[100%Bitch]

Thanks Malcolm,

Received the book this morning in great condition. After all the ums and errs, it looks as though I have a deal on some lovely AMGs for the car with some huuuuge tyres for the rear.

They are: -
8.5J x 18 ET30 with 255/40/18
9.5J x 18 ET33 with 285/35/18

Any views on the fit before I get them?

These will be the same wheel size that I have on the 230 I believe that the last few 129s had that size of wheel.

Are that the AMG 4 spoke

 

[100%Bitch]

No, they are 5 spoke. Like these: -

[television]

Should have said 5 spoke, wonder why that guy selling does not answer the off set, its moulded into the spokes ?

I have a set of those wheels that were an extra on my car, they are nicer to drive on than the size that you have now, well on my car anyway, as I also have a set of those.

 

[Chris Murray]

They will be 18x8ET30 and 18x9ET39 and from a 211. The 8.5/9.5 255/285 AMG III R230 wheels shown here on a 129:

 

[100%Bitch]

Looks like I made a wise choice then, especially as I have a silver car. They should set it off really well and as Malcolm said, also drive nicer.
