Hi Luke,

I picked up a set of 17x7.5x37mm AMG 203-style rims for the front of my '94 Mercedes W124 chassis E320, as well as a set of 17x8.5x30mm rims of the same style for the rear...

I'm pretty sure that both front and rear are going to need spacers, but I have no idea what size, and I also don't know what the correct tire size for rims like these would be for my car.

Any help would be much appreciated, once I get that sorted out I'll be ordering at least a set of all-season tires from TireRack, and potentially a set of winter tires as well

Thanks for your time,
-Nathan

Anybody... Luke...?

If these wheels just aren't going to work then I'd very much like to know so I can just sell them and opt for something else.

-Nathan

the fronts should fit without spacers the rears will not fit ...

Thanks very much for the info... any recommendations on what kind of spacers I should be looking for, and what size?

Thanks,
-Nathan

I do not recommend the 8.5" wide wheel on your car at all ... it's not a spacer issue

Alright... well that's sorta what I was expecting...

Looks like it's off to eBay with these wheels... bah! I should have been more careful when buying them.

Thanks,
-Nathan

I have to admit I'm a little confused however... TireRack.com lists a set of 18x8.5 wide BBS wheels that "fit" my car according to the little vehicle chooser interface, and they seem to have an offset of 32mm.

Will the 2mm difference between that and the AMG wheels I already have cause that much of a problem?

I guess a little more in depth info would be very much appreciated, so that at the very least I know not to make another fitment mistake by trying to get "close".

Thanks,
-Nathan

anything wider than a 8.0" wheel will stick out of the fender and cause rubbing on a W124 chassis .... I do not know why the BBS wheel shows up on our site but, it shouldn't
