W104 S500 Coupe
96 S500c 18" Amg

I just got my AMG 5-SPOKE 18 X 8.5" Front 245/45/18
18 X 9" Rear 265/40/18
I love the way they look, but I fill like driving a go cart......
Question is what is the tallest tiers size I can install, specially on the rears?
I am not interested in a sport handling more of a comfort driver.
Plus my rear bolts now stick out, about 3"
Thanks.

what are the part numbers off the back of the wheel? it sounds like you have the e- class version which are 18x8 and 18x9.

the other ones that fit our body style are off the w220 and those are 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. and those wheels have the part # starting with 220
