Question

I have a 88 benz with factory rims,will 195/50/15 tires fit on the rims?

Answer 1

Will 195/50/15 tires what?

Answer 2

Depends on the width of the rims. An S-class wheel might have a rims that are too wide, but in any case the 195/50's will not have enough load-carrying capacity for the car. You should find the original tire size and have a good tire shop find the load index for that size, then be sure that the tires you put on the car have an index that's equal to, or higher, than that index.

The load index comes after the size, like 205/55R16 88H, or 245/40R17 92Y,,,,,,the 88H and 92Y are service descriptions, and the number is called a load index. It tells you how much weight the tire will carry. You really shouldn't run tires with a lower load index than the original equipment tires.

Answer 3

That's like saying I have an 88 truck...what tires fit...?...spend sometime writing your questions... Benz ...

Answer 4

That depends on which model Benz.  To generalize this, as long as you have 15" rims, those tires will fit.  However, depending on the model, they may be the incorrect size for your Benz.
