Gotta agree with that!

I attended the Dallas GTG last week and commented to those attending about some 18" AMG monoblocks/tires I planned to purchase from e-bay within a month.

The crew politely informed me about the dreaded doom that would befall my W124 if I were to go that route. Despite the correct offset and bolt pattern, the ride and clearance issues would be monumental (the 500E is immune to this btw).

I confirmed what they had told me after surfing the Wheel & Tire forum a bit, and decided on selecting a set of 17x7.5 wheels with 215/45/17 tires to be on the safe side.
