carlsson 1/16

Hello! Anybody got carlsson 1/16 here? Im looking at 19s, 8.5 front, 10 rear, ET 36 all round. I've checked the running gear thread. My car's got amg springs/shocks fenders rolled. ATM im running 18s 1/16 replicas. I understand 19s are bad for ride but its my weekend car.

Your car looks great.

Can't comment on where you can find 19s though.

Thanks mate, I've find a set but decided to wait for a set of 18s, 19 seems too big after googling pics.

19s on a W124 are OK ( I ran 19" CLS63 rims a for a bit myself)...a bit out of genre for most but they'll work with the correct offsets and tire sizes. You'll lose most of the 'comfort' ride that the W124 is known for, but no biggy there.

Also, the price jump in new tires from an 18 to 19 is significant.
