Thinking of finally getting some shoes for my baby. But need to know if they will fit. The rims/tire size is 225/50R17.

 

Thats the tire size. We know the wheels are 17s. Whats the width and offset?

 

That's the size I have on mine right now. (No problems) If you need winter rubber consider a thinner tire (205's 55 17's will be almost a perfect match) as they make better contact with the road than a wider tire.

 

I believe 17X7 +45.

 

Theyll be fine.

 

Got em! 17" ICW wheels. Gonna look real good on the CLS, gonna get some good pics up on here soon! Should I get the an alignment done to the vehicle, after I mount them?

 

When was your last alignment?

 

Those tires sound kinda big, maybe OEM size of 215/50/17 or something slightly more aggressive like a 235/45/17 would be a better look.

 

2 or 3yrs ago. Is perfectly on alignment right now. I was always told though that every time you get new tires, or in my case new wheels and tires, one should re-align? Is that true, or is the local shops I have been goin to just tryin to nickle and dime a kid.

 

Its been a while, Id get one just to be sure. If you can trust your local Firestone store go there. They do lifetime alignments.
