190E is it worth switching 14" to 15"?

[Mel Weaver]

I posted this elsewhere a while ago.
What difference(s) will I notice?
Will I have to worry about speedometer,odometer?
Just curious!
Thanks-Mel

Going from 14 to 15, 16, or 17 does not have anything to do with your speedo.
As long as you compensate for the wheel diameter with the appropriate tire size.
Example: 195/65/15 = 205/55/16 = 225/45/17, see what I mean.

Thanks for reply,
These wheels are off a wrecked 190-we're just swapping mine for his.
After your post (yes I now get the picture-thanks) I can't wait to see what size tire is on the rims!
I may need more feedback soon!
Thanks again-M

Take my word for it...it's gonna look better.

Post us before/after photos.

Cheers.
