I recently bought a 300CD with no engine for $300. I'm planning to rip it for spares ie. glass, windscreen, interior parts etc.

The main reason I bought it is for the alloy wheels. They have two different tyre sizes on them. Front has 205/55/16, rear has 245/45/16. Does anyone know the correct tyre size? I'd prefer to have the same size front and rear.

All the wheels have the same info on them, the outside has AMG stamped and 8Jx16 H2. The inside has ATS stamped.

The wheels are in great condition no knicks or corrosion, however, the spokes are painted blue. I'd rather not have the expense of refurbishing them so I guess I could just sand them down a little and repaint them.

Any input about the tyre size would be great.

lucky find! Those are worth serious $$$.


I have some ronal knock-offs coming my way.


Take the dimensions to a tire store, or in the wheel and tire section on the forum to get some answers.

I would ask the store, see if one is more $$ than the other. Some tires are not in high demand so they are high $$
If the same, use the one you like the best look of and go from there!
