Whats up everyone. I am working on another beater w202 project. I really like the 90s Koenig wide body kind of look with slightly bigger rear wheels with meaty rubber and I thought it could be cool to make something similar out of the C180 that I picked up real cheap.
I need a recommendation on which tire setup to stick with. So I came up with the 3 options:
225/50R16 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/406252943404)
245/40R17
245/50R16 (https://www.carid.com/tires/245-50-r16/) (thickest)
appreciate any input
