Hey all, Bought my first Merc back in March and am delighted with it. 190E 2.0 with most of the whistles and bells... ![]() ![]() I have since painted the grille and wiper arm matt black. I need to sort the front springs as it is waaaaaay too high and am head scratching over tyre sizes - fronts are 195/55/15 rears are 185/65/15. I believe standard fitment on those 8 hole/slot 7j rims was 205/55 - I need to get new rears yesterday and want to get the widest possible. Any ideas? |

205/55 is okay. I've got on my 15 holers 225/60/15 they are meant to be 225/55/15 dont why the last owner put that fitment on, oh well. |

I have done that since the pic was taken. It really does make a huge difference, it makes the car look wider I think. |
