Hello, have had M/B since 1999. Loved my 00 C-230 Kompressor Sport. Wife drives a C-230 Sport 05. Just took delivery of an 06 SLK. Love it, but am looking for 17" wheels and also want to know if anyone has expirience with changing out the 16" to 17" wheels while keeping the current brake system?

Brake system doesnt get affected as overall wheel diameter wont change.
I had 17 x 8 AMG IV copies for a year. Ran 225/45/17 all around.
I now have Brabus mono 6 copies. 8.5 x 18 front, 9.5 x 18 rear.
225x 40x18 front 255x35x18 rear.
