| What size tyres on your W140
Hi,
I'm about to change my 16" stock rims with 18" AMGs - offset, 8.5" on the front and 9.5" on the rear.
What size tyres fit these rims properly on a W140 without any problem?
I've researched on the web and have conflicting sizes...
F 235/50/18-8.5 ET44
R 255/45/18-9.5 ET46
...but I've also seen 245/45/18 & 275/40/18 mentioned.
So......what do you run on yours please?
Many thanks!

That sounds about right, I'm running 265/35/18 which really is too small sadly that was on the car when I got it and I assumed it was correct as the car has been lowered they fill the arches well. There is a site I think tyrerack or somewhere that you can put in the origional tyre size and it converts it for you. |

here in Bulgaria the roads are in very bad condition and it is danger if you drive with something below 60 |
