Hi! I'm the new W124 owner. May I know what's the best offset for the 124? I'm going to have a set of 18" rim on it. They may be 8J+9J or 8.5J+9.5J. Any advise and about the offset of it? I'm afraid of rubing on it. I want to have the set of rims like these. Thanks!

i had Carlsson evo 19x8,5/10 with offset 40/5, it feels good with 5 people onboard and no touch the upper limit of the body

kereon

Thanks Declan! So, what do you think about 18"? Will the same offset will be good too?

Declan

18 is cool, the most important is that fitted precisely inside the fender
by the way, what was the 18'? brabus monoblock III, AMG SL, Carlsson 3/6 3pc was a stunning rims with different width

kereon

Do you means even I get the exactly same size and offset as your 19" setup. If the wheel brand differ from yours, the result will not be the same. Right?

The wheels you pictured are RIAL Daytona Race in 19" x 8.5" and 10".

You can run anything from a +35 to a +42 offset on the front with the correct tire. On the rear you can run higher offsets with wider wheels. Lowest offset you can do on the rear is probably +30 and highest is +45. That's a 500e so it has different fender dimensions and offsets. On a 300e you can run 18x9 +40 rear and 18x8 +35 front.

right, because i also did :
- roll rear fender : this might be different result
- additional front stopper bilstein
- setting to 0.1/3 minus rear chamber

Thanks all BIG BROTHER!!!!!

Declan, I'm amazed you got those carlssons to fit your 230e. I'm running the same wheels on my 500e and I still get rubbing in back! What size tires are you using? I have 275/30 in back.

The rubbing is on the inner wheel well, so I may be able to adjust the toe and fix it. My 285 tires would rub inside and out. :-/

Oh! It really make me confusing all the time!!!! Anybody knows the right size, width and the offset on E320 as the picture on E500???? Pls help! I prefer have a 19" on my E320. But I accept having change down to 18" if there is no choice. ANYBODY HELP??

Declan

i using 265/30, it will fitted by Pirelli Dragon/Yokohama Sport, but it'll give u a "square looks", not like Toyo/Falken

i'll think it will amazed to having Carlsson 1/6 Evo different wide inside 500E, not significant lose of power, isn't it?

Declan

@kereon:
to had a smooth drive 18" will be great, but if the road of ur daily route was always flat & support then go for 19", others factor is the cost of the tire price it self

kereon

Thanks Declan. I wanna go for 19". But I'm not really sure if I got 8.5J+9.5J, ET35 at front and ET40 at Rear. Is it workable? I don't mind roll the fender.
