I mounted 225/50-16s first, but as I have maximized the offset to keep the wheels/tires inside the fenders, ... the tire was just too close to the front strut for my comfort (almost certain that hard-cornering deflection would cause contact).

Doing it over, I would probably go 5mm less offset (pic of 225s on the '95): 16x8 ET40 Fit 124 (photos)

The offset was necessary to clear the original front fender lower cladding on the '90-up 124s (except 500E).
