Are 215/55/16s really too big for the W124? Maybe I should go back w/ the OEM 195/65/15s..
but the 215/55/16s do fill up the gap..
everyone thinks I run on 15" rims cuz the tire looks chunky..

Changing tire size does look chunky, but remember the original tires standing heighth.
Not having read all the replies, this was sent for me to comment on; keep the same final drive gear ratio to ground and fender wall clearance.

where did your get the filter? Canadian Tire?

Drop the 3.27 diff from a 1988-1990 W124 wagon, and the acceleration is so much better. You'll top out at about 128 MPH, but getting there is half the fun.

Enjoy,
