Wheel Size
The stock wheel size for my former R129 SL was 8J x 16 H2 with a 34 mm offset.
Stock tire size was 225/55 x 16 but I used 245/50 x 16s. Rolling diameters were 25.74 and 25.65 respectively.

Thank you for the response. No idea what that means relative to my question though. I guess the offset ? Although I have no idea of the difference in width. Anyway, thanks, always appreciate the help

See your other thread
A detailed answer is posted by me in your thread about the 11" width wheels, in short, NO, don't buy them
