Default Mercedes Rims that fit

Hello to all

I am in the market to purchase some USED winters tires and rims for my 04 coupe. As expected I have not seen much advertised for the crossfire specifically. I have noticed quite a few mercedes winter rims and tires for sale.

Does anyone know which mercedes model wheels will fit the xifre?

SLK? SL500? S class? C class? E class?

I tried a search but was unable to locate anything on point.

Cheers

Hi there,

I had the SL55 18" rims fitted to my car. You will need to either change the front or back tires. Also, you will need to purchase new bolts for the rims. attached is the picture.

What kind of rubber do you have on that thing. That is some serious grip!!!

Best advice I can give you is find 4 used 18s that have curb rash for cheap. The tires are easier to find and they'll all still match and look decent even in the winter.

REAR 285/35/18 & FRONT 225/40/18. Was going to lower the rear but not sure what to do or if it will make the ride any harder.

The wheels look great... even upside down. You need to install the lowering springs now.
