17" Staggered AMG wheels on a 320 coupe?
Hi,
I recently bought a 1995 e320 coupe with some nasty chrome 15" wheels on it. After looking for some time now, I want to go with the 17" AMG monoblock aero wheels (7.5" front & 8.5" rear).
Does anyone have experience with this set up? Would love to see pictures & get any advice.
I'm also planning on lowering the car & adding sportline swaybars.
Thanks

Those are the same questions I have currently, as I plan to make a few changes on the car (sedan in my case).
I plan on going 17x7.5 all around, and use wheels with probably 1" to 1.5" of lip.
As for lowering, I am looking into aftermarket suspension and anti-sway bars. For a while I was thinking of going with the whole Sportsline setup, however I've changed my mind to look into H&R setup and the like instead.
I am having my supplier looking into it for pricing and such. Will keep you posted.

i have a matched set of these rims with tires 4 sale with tires. they are in my sig pic.
i have no idea how you could fit an 8.5" inch rim in the back. i have brabus 8" in the rear now and they just squeak by. keep 1 big thing in mind. large variations in tire diameter and size on a 124 will make your cruise control stop working since it uses the abs sensors. my cruise stopped working when i had 225 on the front and 245 on the rear. now that they are within 10 the cruise works fine.
