Ah yes stage 3 tires, rubber bands for the road. Actually it would take a little figuring but you can pick a size that will come close to the circumference of the original size. My 300SD came with 15" wheels and 225 70 15" tires if I remember correctly. Probably not the optimum size, but conveniently the same size as the ones on my 87 560SEL. No acceleration problems there.

You should not hinder the acelleration if you reduce the height of the tire. Am I wrong?BoydFrom: Nate <vwnate1@yahoo.com>

As mentioned ;
14" tires are cheap & plentiful .
Of course if you want 15" wheels that's fine too , just be aware they'll seriously hinder your acelleration....
