Default Paging Tire Rack or others Contis needed

Price shipped to 91354 Ca


Existing tires
2-265/35/18
2-245/40/18

Basic contis for 4 dr E class nothing special.
pm is fine.

if I went a hair taller on the sidewall where heights were consistent would I need?
245/45/18
265/40/18

2001 E430 sport originally came with 17" Rims has these on now
Will changing height throww off the vss or some goofy electrical issue?

If you look at the front suspension you will find that the spring perch is directly above the tire. The 245/45-18 is 1" taller than the 245/40-18. So, while you can go a little larger than OE you cannot fit a 245/45-18 on your E430

so increasing rear sidewall height a hair is out then too

dont like the rubber band tire look, former owner tossed the originals and put these on.

If this is all I can put on whats my shipping to 91354? Site says 99.9999 ea
