Can I put new rims on my original tires?

Question

I have a 1988 Mercedes-Benz 420 sel. I want to put new rims on my tires, that are on the car now, can I do it or do I need new tires?

Answer 1

As long as the new rims are the same diameter and width as the old ones, you will have no problems mounting your old tires on to your new rims.

Answer 2

If the rims are the same size as the tires (IE 17" rims/17" tires) you shouldn't need new tires. Many online sites that sell rims will recommend a certain tire size for the rim your are purchasing.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Yes because they are the same size rims, i have damaged a rim and replaced it without any problems.
