Mercedes Benz S-500, 4-Matic With A.M.G. sports package, Rims

Question

If I was going to change the rims on an s-500, would i be required to change the tires size too, to match the rims?

Answer 1

It really depends on what rims you will be getting.

If you're getting larger rims, say moving from 17 to 19" you will obviously need bigger tires, etc.

If you're ordering your rims online, many websites will recommend a tire size for the rims you are purchasing.

Answer 2

Yes wider wheels bigger rims diameter all require different tires. Go on line tirerack.com. AMG Mercedes Benz cars/trucks also need to have forged rims that are of the highest quality. Like BBS Lichmetalrader Road Wheels. Just remember you can adversly effect the handling of a S-500 by not using the correct wheel.

Answer 3

That depends.  If you are changing only the style of the rim ( but keeping the same diametre and width of rim ), you can keep swap the tires on to the new rims.

If you're changing sizes ( i.e., going from an 18" to a 19" rim and/or going to a much wider rim ) you have to replace the tires.
