hey guys what do you think wich one should i go 17 " or 18 " wheels on my w202? wich looks better? i dont wahant to loose much power too . ( post any picture thnx )
Andy, there are a lot of pictures of members' W202 (C36, C43, C230, C280 etc...) in the members gallery forum. I suggest you got thru them so you can get a pretty good idea which one works best according to your preference.
Here's one to start you off:
An OG C36
18 can fill the arch very well but 17 are amg stock look with no mods on either fit-ment
c36 ///AMG ,,, c240 v6 sport
For me it comes down to the wheel design....I would take 17" AMG mono's over aftermarket 18's (except for Brabus of course)
1994 C280
1996 C36
2005 C55
2013 Volvo XC60 R-Design
1999 Porsche 911
......dang now I know where all my money went.
17 inch looks smaller if you haven't dropped your car, but doesn't make your car slower if the 17 inch rim is lightweight.
18 inch is a bit bigger and fills out the wheelarches better, but they are many times heavier and it slows your car down.
if you are not about speed but only being a cruizer on the boulevard in Tirana then go for 18's, they will look sharp on your car!
Well said Kowalski.

i had 17s and now on 18s... no difference coz overall tire diameter is the same... it just looks so much fuller with 18s than 17s.
Me lajjk fast cars and fast women, such a hot combination of both females!Just be careful not to watch the chicks and not the road and fall in a hole and bent your nice 18's
Chicks in short skirts with sexy legs and high heels, babeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
There's nothing better!
I guess I'm normal????
Hoe ho ho.
Or maybe it was, ha ha ha.
My C43 is a nice female too!
Best of both worlds.

what size tires fit best on 18s with stock springs, thanks
225/40/18 all around....
use 225/40/18 upfront and 255/35/18 on rear.
if you use a thinner tire profile I think you'll have more of a bumpy ride?
18 inch tires wear out fast, they don't last long
