    I’m about to pull the trigger on buying some Drag wheels sized 16x7.5 +40. Will that fit on a stock ride P3? Tire size recommendations are welcome too. Comments? I’d like to fill the wheel well and take the tires to the edge of body line.

    No response to the rim question so I’m going ahead and pull the trigger on this short fuse. Now for tires:

    1. I drive my Benz this P3 will replace only 1500 miles a year so miles per gallon isn’t even a concern.
    2. I’m not pimping my ride but want something other than stock old ladyish.

    given the 16x7.5 +40 rims I’ve found some 245/50 ZR 16 High perf tires I like the looks and specs of.

    Question….is this to far off the mark on a non-lowered or lifted stock 2015 P3 to wear?

    I’m hesitant to buy before I get some feed back. The rims are a steal but there’s always bargains. Tires I’m fixed on; Ripken Raptor ZR A/S 245/5/16. I have those on the fron of my Benz and they’re awesome.
