Hi guys,

I was wondering. my 1990 560SEC has 15" wheels/tires on it.

is there any benefits other than paying more for tires that one could receive from 16" or 17" wheels and tires ?

thanks,
Kevin

 

Larger wheels not only look cooler.... but they give you better cornering (less tire roll) and a little stiffer ride (less bounce).

If you do go with larger wheels, make sure to maintain as close to the original tire diameter or your speedometer may not read-out correctly.

Hope this helps.

There's probably additional benefits, but those are the few that come to mind at the moment.

 

Yes, there is.
You notice driving over a toothpick much easier.
