E500 Max Tire width all around?
 

I was reading about a 94 E500 truly an amazing car! I was just playing around on tirerack the other day and saw that with 18's that the car could fit 245/40/18's all around. I was just wondering if it was possible to fit 255's or maybe even 265's all around without rubbing? I am definatly getting that car for my next purchase next summer. I was reading up on that car and it is a true beast!

lol...try 245's in the front and 275's in the rear of the 500's. I've seen wheels up to 18 x 8.5 in the front and 18 x 9.5 or even 10 in the rear.

Someday, I would like to do a 500E conversion with the fenders and quarter panels. That would be great. Good luck on your adventures.

Yea that would be sweet. I definatly need more fender. 215xl's with a V8 sucks!

i used to have this setup on my 500E.

9.5"x18" front - 245/40
10"x18" rear - 275/35

Wtf do you have know your rear tires look huge? :y

lol...Ramil's car is crazy!

you got that right. It looks like he has about 315's on there! :nix: :)

The fenders can easily gobble up 285s with the correct offset...all around. There are euro-dooodes out there modding their fenders to go even wider...yikes !!

I run wimpy 245s on 17" rims and 275s on 18" rims.

And YES, Ramils car(s) ROCK !!! :y

can you still spin them with that much meat on them? When I get my 500 I am going to probably get the AMG wheels 18", forgot the stile. and put 245's up front and 275's rear. I have to make sure I can brake launch. :zoom:

What size is Ramils running? In his picture it looks like they are at least 285's?

It was stated above the picture. :wwf:

9.5"x18" front - 245/40
10"x18" rear - 275/35

it is now on Run.Exe's car btw.

god damn I love run.exe's car. Especially the interior now since it's all CF. droooooooooooools. :hammer:

My bad. Is that a lip spoiler or is that how the car comes because it looks ****ing awesome. :zoom:

I believe it's an AMG Ducktail kit molded to the trunk and car.

That car just looks so clean. Those wheels are awesome.

You can still spin a tire with 275s...but its not as easy as compared to the thinner ones obviuously. Great hook-up at the drags; or at the stop-lites. :y

I dated a chick from Franklin, TN... Jenny Teal was her name...in the 80's...Daisy Duke-type !! Man, she was fun.

thank you sirs!! :zoom:

i'll buy you a pack, make you drunk, so you can tell her story and not leave me hanging. lol :banned:
