SLK 280 5-spoke stock rims - info

**B4TM4N** · 06-24-2007

Hey guys how's it going??

I realize I haven't been on here in a little while. I just came back recently from a trip to Vancouver, BC. Hope everyone's been well!!

Just wondering though, but the stock SLK 280 rims...

What are the specs/sizes?? I feel stupid for asking because I've been rolling on these for a little while and I even bought winters and everything, but now that I'm using the SLK 350 10-spoke rims for everything, the 280 wheels have been sitting in the shed and I don't even remember what they are!

Track day is in a week from now and I wanted to get all-round set of:
Toyo Proxes RA1 - 235/45/16

Will that be fine?? Thanks everyone!!

The alloys aren't my strong point mate sorry but i know others on here are great with this stuff and i am sure they will be along shortly

They should fit but why not a staggered set? It give you more width, grip in the rear.

you can find the wheel specs on mbusa.com.

The standard 280 rims are 7 + 8x16 with 205/55 and 225/50 rubbers. If I understand right, you want to build 235 on the front rims too. Think, it´s too much.
