Hi,


I'll buy a E,SC 2007 tomorrow and i was wondering if it's possible to install 15'' rims on it ?

It would cost less than 18'' tires.If it's possible what's the size of the tire i should buy to have the same diameter of the 18''


Thanks

Bert

By the way...very nice forum!

The recommended Rim size is 16" and tire 215/70/R16. That's my winter set up.

Just last week, I put a set of the OEM 16" black steel wheels on my SC. I went with one size bigger tires, 225-70-16, for two reasons. The larger tire provided a "softer" ride and they were cheaper @ Discount Tire than the standard size (215-70-16).
