Would a set of 15 inch wheels effect a 240d in any way? I know on some cars with ABS they go crazy when you change to a different size wheel. So if I put a 15 inch wheel on would I have to set any thing differently? My next question is 15 inch or 20 inch what ever different size wheel, would the tire pressure change, or keep what is posted on the fuel door. Because a bigger wheel you would think the pressure would effect differently with a different size wheel.

No 240D came with ABS. Nothing will change as long as the overall tire diameter (rolling distance) is the same.

Oh, Thank you so much. I have not had time to check all the goodies that the 240d has now. I thought it being a mercedes it would be far a head of the game and have ABS, Traction control and all the electonics for its time. What about the tire pressure will it stay the same or be different?

That I don't know about. You should ask that question to a forum dedicated to tires.

I inflate both my 15" tires to 32psi.
