Need wheel opinions/advice for my 190e
I am looking for wheels for my 1991 190e 2.6
What do you guys think will look nice?
What offset will bring the wheel flush with the fender?
Also what is the widest I can go in the back if I run a staggered setup?
Thanks for all the help!

W201 190E 3.0 M103
Necrothreading because I have the same question.
It appears the 190E AMG 3.2 monoblocks are 16x7 with a 35mm offset? Is that right?
I'm looking around at 16x7 rims for taste but offsets vary from 30-45mm. I need to know what owners experiences are with rubbing and ideal offsets. Up to 235 tyres will site nicely on 7" rims if the offset is good to sit squarely in the well. Given stock sportlines have 205s I was thinking 205 front and 215 rear.
But I need to know ideal offset for 7" rims to sit as squarely as possible in the wells.
I'm already getting wheelspin on 205s and the cam upgrade is going in next week. If the offset is perfect enough I want to go wide as possible with stock guard lips and no rubbing.
What offsets have owners been using that worked nice?

check out stanceworks.com/forums since a lot of members have really good fitment. members on here like to keep everything pretty conservative, so it's a little difficult to get an idea of how different sizes and offsets will fit
