I understand but I still dont see that much a difference///////

On the PDF, it says you can fit (w124) a 8.25 inch wheel ET34 with a 245/45/17 tire.

lol, yes they absolutely will fit. LoveLEE, feel free to use a little bit of critical thinking of your own rather than starting a new thread on a topic that has been beaten into the ground.

I know you are not trying to be rude but I search for 16x8 w124 on a few forums. Most of the ones had a different offset. And one with the same same offset, some said they would rub others said they wouldn't. I was just trying to see if anyone had the exact same wheel size with a stock suspension to make sure they fit before I bought the wheels. But thank you anyways.

The primary concern in terms of rubbing should be wheel/tire width and wheel offset. Don't get caught up with wheel diameter. This has been repeated in many places on the forums- ET35ish on an 8" wide rim won't rub. That's where the critical thinking comes in, that's all. a 1mm difference in offset makes no difference.

OK Thanks again I am new to the upgrading wheels. I wasn't sure if 1mm could make the difference if it was on the extreme limits. Thanks sorry for being a noob. Just wanted to make absolutely sure before forking out $$$.
