Greetings All, I'm a new member but a longtime German car fanatic. (currently own 7) I purchased a mint condition '96 E320 (my second) with 42K original miles. My questions are these: 1. What is the widest tire I can safely mount on the stock rims? 2. Can anyone recommend reliable web sources for researching tire and wheel options for this car? I'm looking forward to learning more about this wonderful car
from you experts. Thanks in advance!
Other than a "zero plus" tire size (see Tire Rack) you are talking about replacing your beautiful wheels. The AMG E55 wheels will fit, there are knock-offs out there, what is your goal with this car?

I have toyed with the idea of replacing the wheels but would rather not. I agree that they are beautiful ! I just think the overall look of the car might be improved by mounting beefier tires. I also have a slight shimmy in the front at around 60mph which the guys at my tire shop can’t seem to completely rid me of so I’m guessing it’s a minor tire defect. I did contact Tire Rack yesterday and was informed that 225’s and 235’s could be mounted on the stock wheels. Thanks for your reply!
