ET 30

thks. Was told that can fit rim from both the s and c class. Need to confirm

I have a set of AMG 17" monoblocks on my 124. They are ET34 or 36 from the W202 C Class. If you use 215/45/17 the tyres shouldn't hit the guards. Anything wider and I'll guarantee you have to roll your fenders.

[Guest paddy]

oh..... was offered 2 sets, both from the new c class - 5 double spokes and new s class - 7 spokes respectively, both to match with 17" 225/...... tyres.

looks like must match with 215 tyres liao.

If they are from the W204, might be better if you do a test fit bcoz offset might be different from W202. :thumbsup:

you will need a spacer for w204 type.. not sure how much... :surrender:

[Guest paddy]

like that must get trial period from tyre shop to fit and drive around first....

thks guys. anymore advise is grestly appreciated!!!! :clap:

Just got a set of 225/55/16. They were from a W211. Will they fit on W124? What bolt size/length and offset should it be? Hope can get some advice. Most appreciated.

 

Thanks.

225/55/16 will rub I think. 205/55/16 should be the correct size. As for bolt size and length, tyre shop will advise as they have tons to try out. Rims for w211 should bolt on directly as they are the same offset.

Wow Benzw124, you are right! The tyre specialist did recommend 205/55/16 and got some spare bolt that fits. Awesome.
