Monoblocks (Maybe a dumb question)

So I am trying to put monoblocks on my E300 Turbodiesel and I was wondering what is the maximum width of a wheel for the front end? Is it possible to put 9 inch wheels all around without rubbing the inside of the fender?

Also, what kind of tires do 18 inch monoblocks need? My car is not lowered.

Thanks to any help.

Had those 18 x 9 monoblocks on 3 of my MB and now they wait for 4th one (when original tires wear)
No problem with fitment, I think ET= 35, but would have to check tomorrow.
Proper tires would be 245/45 - 18 but I cheaped out and bought 235. Minimal difference on odometer.

If you are referring to the 18x9 monoblocks that are from the rear of a W210 E55 then yes they will fit with a properly sized tire. Run 225 or 235 series tires and you should be ok. I ran 235 and was ok, even with a 2 inch drop.

So you have 18 x 9 on every corner?

Yes I had.
I check ET=37
They fit W210, R129 and W211 with only custom bolts.
