What are those 2 hoses
NICE PICS!
Hey Flavio, what are those two hoses that run across your fuse box(on the driver side)and into the fire wall(?) in pics IMG_2309 & IMG_2310? |

Damn I love the look of 18s on a 500E. It really balances out the car's aesthetics. Do you have the 500SL or SL600 front brakes? Oh, I'm sure you've answered this in another thread, but did you have to roll your fenders to fit the 285s in back? Also, how difficult is it to swap the front grille?

There was no need to roll the rear fenders to get the 285's to fit, it's a matter of choosing the right offset or in my case the right size wheelspacer. I did not change the front grille myself, the previous owner did, but at close inspection it's not a very high quality piece. Remember the hood was also changed to an E500 hood. Flavio

Apparently Bekkers is a solid vendor for sourcing an avant garde W124 grille. www.bekkers.com

285/35R18 is only 0,44% higher than the 225/55R16 so it's actually a slightly better fit than the 275/35R18 which is 0,64% smaller than a 225/55R16. Factory speedos always exaggerate so by choosing a slightly bigger wheel it gets more accurate. Flavio

295 will be too much for a 9.5" wheel I think. If you want to go all out take a 11" or 12" wheel with 335/30R18 tire! Flavio
