Will these rims fit on my 1993 300E

So yeah I am looking to give my beauty a little makeover. I would like to put on the AMG rims, but I am not sure what would fit since my car knowledge is minimal....ideally I would like to spend around 1000.00 USD for rims and tires...

here are a few links any help is appreciated...

1) Fronts may fit (no offset specified) Rears WONT

2) Same as above

3) MAYBE if car isn't lowered and offset is ok.

Ideally you want 18x8 Offset of ET35 with a 215 40 18 tire ( max 225)

Good luck.

Oh and search...this topic has been covered 4325845385342348 times here before.

I believe those wheels are actually 8.5" in the front and 9.5" in the rear unless this is some rare set...so no, they won't fit

Ideally, you want 7.5" wide wheels with a +35mm offset. 8" wide wheels will make it very tight and will cause problems if you lower the vehicle at all. Fender lip rolling would also be a requirement

Nope, my car is DUMPED on 18x8 ET35....no issues at ALL when you run a 215/40/18 tire.

Ok, let me add a bit more then. Assuming you plan on running the proper tire size (225/40/18) then your going to have rubbing problems and would be best choosing a 7.5" wide wheel. Ohterwise you need to use a 215/40/18 tire and deal with the rpm/speedo issues associated with running the smaller sized tire.
