If you’re running a serious AMG or high-output Benz, you know the biggest challenge isn’t making power—it’s getting it to the ground.
Wide tires alone don’t cut it. In real drag and roll racing, sidewall height, bead security, and rotating mass are what make the difference. That’s why we developed our forged beadlock rear wheels, specifically for Mercedes-Benz platforms.
Why the Smaller Wheel + Taller Tire Combo Works
-
Sidewall flex = better traction
A taller sidewall gives the tire room to flex, increasing the contact patch and absorbing shock on launch. That flex is what helps the car squat and stay hooked under load—something low-profile street tires can’t do. -
Smaller wheels = better acceleration
Our rear wheel kit reduces rotating mass and put torque closer to the road, improving response and traction. Combined with drag-spec tires, this setup makes a real difference in straight-line grip. -
It’s not just about width
Yes, wide tires help, but a longer contact patch from sidewall flex often does more. Plus, too much width can hurt pressure distribution. Taller sidewalls offer a better balance. -
Beadlocks stop tire spin on launch
Without a beadlock, tires can slip on the rim—especially when running low pressure. Our beadlocks clamp the tire in place, allowing you to push harder and launch clean.
