Hello I just bought a 2002 S500 Silver with only 3K miles on it. What a find. Everything original and in good condition. I want to put rims, it has the standard 16 inch on it. What size is the best to get? I have a newborn, so I would like to look sporty but not sacrifice the ride. What size rims and tires are the best to get? Would I have to change the suspension? I also drive to Las Vegas back and fourth, so I will be putting miles on this ride.

I live in So Cal, Cerritos, CA. Where is the best place to get rims and tires? Thank you.

 

i've seen them with up to 20s with no modifications but by then ride quality can suffer. Nothing is worse than riding in a W220 with big rims for hours and it sounds/feels like you're driving down a gravel road.

 

Just keep in mind when you put bigger wheels on that car... you are at risk of the wheels rubbing and bending the front fenders......when....I repeat when the suspension collapses on you. With the standard size wheels they will not rub the fenders .. I've seen a handful of s class cars that destroyed the front fenders because of wrong size wheels.
