Wheels

Might be something to look at in the near future.

They always give the car a bit of a Lift ( New wheels) Especially Bigger ones.

That would mean a 25 profile on the rear !!
With the state of the roads around here, not sure what your area is like?
They wouldn’t last long before Cracks and buckles appear .

No, Vin, if you went 9x20 all round you would need 245/30/20 tyres if you went 10x20 on the back only, you would need 275/30/20, still low, but not as bad as 25 profile, I've had 30 profile on other cars and honestly found them OK.

I’d be putting those wheels on the wall, that way you can look at them with none of the issues of handling, comfort, breakages or brake dust.

I think I’ll stick with 19s Tony, maybe in another life

I stand corrected, Vin, it looks like it would be 25 profile on the rear . That might be a profile to far.

I have your back Tony, I run 305/25/20 on the rears of my CLS!

How, are they, Abb?

To be honest Tony, as the car is not on airmatic (unlike my last CLS) and was on 19's anyway, I haven't noticed the difference in ride quality at all.

I have noticed it has improved in the looks dept though.....unbiased view of course!

Will be getting them redone in silver at some point though.

Awesome motor, Abb.

Awesome motor, Abb.

Agree Abb, Cracking looking motor .
Think the wheels will look great in silver.

That is stunning, I would be keeping them black, very stealthy

 

[dry run]

Go silver! - they'll look bigger

+1 for silver

 

[SmartAmg]

Yep, gotta be silver, Abb.
