I looked at the two stickies, but couldn't find anything.

Any possibility these will fit?

I found a set that are 245/45/18 in front and 265/35/18 in the rear. I'm sure the front will fit, but the rear....Not sure. Any possibility if I flared the rear?

Monoblock II's btw.

lol thats huge in the rear i am pretty sure you wont be able too.. unless you put some 500e rear fenders hehe

i made my rims fit by taking an angle grinder to the inside of the fender

thats big, but you can always roll the fenders.

If they are in good condition (awaiting photos) then I'll probably buy em. The value of them isn't going to go down.
Once I have them I'll see what I can do

Think just rolling will do the trick or will it need some deeper surgeon skills?

To be honest, I doubt they will fit without some serious fender work. IE rolling, cutting, flaring, etc.

But anythings possible I guess..

hey but whats the offsets of the rims? thats a very importnat question because they stick out too much or go in too much and touch your shock absorber. i managed to fit 18x8.5 et43 (from w220 S class) all round on my 300E I had in Los Angeles. Rolled the fenders, all was good but when I would turn full lock the inside of the front rim would touch the shock absorber and so would make a kinda loud scraping noise. Going straight was fine though. I had 225 40 18 all round, any bigger and they would have hit the fenders on light dips in the road. i contemplated getting wider rears eg 245 but then id have to drop the profile to 35, which would look rubbish because there would be an even larger gap between the fender and tyre. just my personal experience, hope it helps someone...

265s...NO way. 245s...rub a dub

265/35/18 Will fit, but you have to roll your fender. I had AMG mono II w/ 265/35 on my 95 sedan and wagon.

+1 on rolling the fenders and offset of the rims.

ps2cho

Awesome. I was expecting to have to roll the fenders. I emailed the guy about the offset so we'll find out if he emails me back. Fingers crossed.

^Didn't happen to take photos of how it looked did ya ? I think 18's should look more flush than 17's.

offset is the key to fit 265s and they do fit with a 44mm offset on a 18x8.5-9 wheel with rolled fenders. I suggest 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear.

I run 245/40/18 and 215/45/18 on the front.

berti_00

do you think i could run 235's or 245's on the rear? my wheels are 18x9 Offset is 35?

I think with that offset (35) you can run 235 40 18 on rear, but 245 or 255 would probably need 35 profile tires and rolled fenders too in all circumstances I believe.

Here is the pic. 265 on my sedan (rear wheels AMG mono II 18x9 et35), and for the wagon, i just posted on the pic. thread.

+1 this setup probably better for W124 specially for e320/300e since we don't have much horsepower on our car. Unless you have 500e/e500.
I kept 265 on my rims because most of the times these AMG are on my W210 e420.
