I want to buy a set of steel rims and winter tyres for my 10-plate Mercedes-Benz B180 CDI auto.
I would like to fit a smaller rim with a narrower tyre of higher profile. There seems to be a problem with the size of rim needed to fit over the brake discs.

Consult www.rarerims.co.uk Yes there will be a minimum size you can go down to that will still fit around the brake discs and calipers. Probably 16".

Raised driving position, lots of interior room, decent diesel engines, good ride quality on smaller wheels.
