Question about tires for my fiance Mercedes?
She's got a 2004 C230 sedan Kompressor.
When I got to tire rack it says that she has wider rear tires. I'm not sure that she does or doesn't. We bought the car used and the rims that are on it I'm pretty sure they are factory Mercedes wheels but the tires that are on it aren't and they have 225/45/17 on both the front and rear.
What should we do when ordering new tires? Should I go with the mismatched sizes or what?
The reason I ask is that there are so many aftermarket replica rims out there and these might not be OEM Benz wheels and they might be the same sizes all the way around.
Audi content is that I'm also ordering for my S4 also.

Best to verify wheel widths before ordering. I'd check the rear wheels first to verify that they aren't 8.5" wide wheels.<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR8&url=/tires/index.jsp">Tires</a></li></ul>
