Will 265/35/18's fit on w124?
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.

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?

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...

lots of cars
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.

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.
