Mercedes W210 Sedan
Tiresize and offset on 8,5x20 and 10x20 on my W210 sedan Avantgarde.

Tiresize and offset on 8,5x20 and 10x20 on my W210 sedan Avantgarde.

I`m from Norway so please excuse my poor English.

I need help figuring out the perfect ET front and rear to “avoid” rubbing. I may have to roll the fenders a bit, but I need to know about how much, because I am going to repaint the car before I get the rims (already scheduled with the painter).

The car:
Mercedes W210 1997 220D Avantgarde (I’ve figured that this engine wasn’t even delivered in the US due to lack of displacement? )

The rims
8,5x20 ET?? and 10x20 ET??

The tires:
225/30R20??
245/30R20 or 255/30R20??

I plan to lower the car with H&R springs and #1 pads.

Please help the lost Norwegian!

depends on the weather
I would rather see 19's on a W210 but, if 20's are a must here's what you need
20x8.5 ET35
20x10 ET30 (but, I would prefer a 20x9.5 ET35)

tires
245/30-20
275/25-20
