[R129 SL] AMG Wheels

[Michael Willnow]

Hi Satish,

I checked the wheels on the E320 and they are as you said the E55 setup
should be, 8 x 18 ET 31 and 9 x 18 ET35. OK, that verifies that these rims
will fit on the '97 SL500. The tires on these rims are 235/40 18 on the
front and 265/35 18 on the rear.  As I understand, this is one size smaller
than the optional size for a 1997 SL500, 245/40 & 275/35. Will this present
any problem(s) if I use this one size smaller tire on the SL? These tires
only have 3,000 miles on them and I would hate to have to buy new ones.

Thanks,

Mike
