Is anyone running 17 x 8 wheels on a stock 124 (et35).
I've heard 8" will stick out too far. Found these wheels on ebay, price is great. Post photos if you have them.

I've had the same question on my mind. Anyone know?

I have 17x8.0 on my car, ET38. The ET35 wheels will stick out another 3mm. They will fit (use with 235/45/17 tires) but you will need to roll the fender lips, especially if the car is lowered OR if you corner hard. I have very little rubbing (if any) now that I folded the lips. Here's photos of the wheels, and also a Mercedes document detailing how to roll the fenders:

AMGDave, where did you get your shift knob? All I can find on ebay for the 124 cars are the wood ones.

That's just a later S-class (W140, I think) shift knob in gray leather. You have to get the correct shaft to go with it (they are 2 pieces). I bought them both from a guy who decided he didn't want to use them. Unfortunately I don't know the part number for the shaft...! I have a Carat zebrano wood knob in my other car though, which also looks nice...

Thanks for the info AMGDave, I ordered the wheels with
215/45 tires. I'll try to post some pics when I can.
