I went to tire rack and found they only went up to 18 x 7.5. Anyone go taller or widder?

17 x 7.5 for sure
17 x 8 most likely
18 x 7.5 most likely
18 x 8 roll fenders

Look at my web site

I figured that much. My friend has some 19" silver Carlsson's for sale with a 40 offset.

NO way to big, the diamater would be to big and they would rub very badily. The only 124 that could fit 19z is the 500E/E500, and I would not go any wider than 8 in the front.

By the way your Carlsson's look tight. Love that diamond finish. What tires are you running and do you have pics of your "Chromed Headlights"?

Thanks man, I am running 225/40/18 Kuhmos Esc?? they are ok but I am not that impressed with them deff very good tire for the money, if I had more money at the time I would have gotten Yokohama AVS db I had these on my stock wheels and they were awsome. If money was no object I would have gotten SO-3 pole possitions.
Look here for pics of before and after chromed headlights.

Basicly I put chrome tape on the gray parts of the inside of my headlights so it looks like the newer headlight units.
This can only be done to the 94-95 E class or 124s with euros. Look at the top pics for the before and bottom ones for the after, its a minor detail but it realy dresses the car up.
