Hey all, had a quick question about a wheel tire combination:


I'm ordering some replica AMG 823s (current wheels are bent, with some curb rash) in 18" x 8.5" +35 and 19" x 9.5" +35, and my understanding is the stock tire size will work on these wheels, but how does the .5" wider wheel look with the same tire size? Specifically looking at the Conti DWSs as I've heard good things about them and can get them for cheap locally. I'd hate to get them installed and find out it looks "off." Any opinions?


Also, hoping the 19 x 9.5 +35s fit on the rear without spacers. I know they'll sit in about 1/4" further than stock... Not terribly concerned about that.

 

I've got the stock size on my 9.5" and it looks fine. (though the next time I'll go wider for a tighter fit to the fender.)

I'd recommend a spacer on your et35 though... but that is all up to the look you want.

 

(sorry for the double post. computer's acting odd)

 

Awesome, thanks for the photos, exactly what I was hoping for. It looks good to me, although it remains to be seen how I'll feel about the wheels without spacers. If you don't mind a few more questions, what's the offset on your wheels? Spacers?

 

Nice. I was thinking about these. Post some pics after you mount them!

 

Will do... In the mean time here's a quick Photoshop I did to make sure I wouldn't totally hate them.


Disclaimer - it's slightly out of perspective, and who knows how close the color is
