-
For aftermarket wheels, confirm centre bore or use hub-centric rings (66.6 mm)

Runflat tyres may be factory-equipped — switching to non-runflat improves comfort

FAQs
Can Autosport Tyre World Magill check Mercedes CLS350 Tyre Size Guide fitment?
Yes. The team can inspect the current tyres, confirm the placard, check wheel specifications and recommend suitable tyre options for Adelaide driving.
Should I book a wheel alignment with new tyres?
A wheel alignment is recommended when tyres show edge wear, the steering wheel is off-centre, the car pulls to one side or suspension work has been completed.
What should I check before changing wheel size?
Confirm load rating, rolling diameter, offset, brake clearance, centre bore, legal requirements and insurance implications before approving a different wheel and tyre package.

Ownership check for Mercedes CLS350 Tyre Size Guide | Wheel Specs, PCD, Centre Bore & Torque Australia
Mercedes CLS350 Tyre Size Guide | Wheel Specs, PCD, Centre Bore & Torque Australia should be matched to the way the vehicle is actually used around Adelaide, not just the tyre name or a generic online recommendation. Before fitting, Autosport Tyre World Magill checks the placard size, load rating, speed rating, wheel condition and current wear pattern so the final choice suits daily commuting, wet winter braking, hot summer roads and weekend touring.
That check is especially useful for 4WDs and utes because suspension changes, towing weight, canopy loads and mixed bitumen/gravel use can all change the best pressure, alignment and rotation plan. A practical fitment conversation helps avoid tyres that look right online but do not suit the vehicle, the load or the driver's expectations.
- Confirm the placard size and legal load rating before ordering.
- Inspect tread depth, sidewalls, tyre age and uneven shoulder wear.
- Book balancing or wheel alignment if vibration, steering pull or edge wear appears.
