I just bought a 99 E300 TD that is shipping from east coast. Does anyone know what size rims and tires came on a stock W210 of that year and model.

Also what size tire width can one go to without any mods


Steven

16" 215 55 16

Does going to a 17" rim and 45 height end up the same overall diameter for odometer purposes?

Also on 17 x 7.5 how wide can one go without any modifications?


Thanks

Steven

OE
16x7 ET40
215/55-16

17"
17x7.5 ET35
235/45-17

I was looking at the E420 sport rims (17") not sure how wide they are does anyone know?

Is it possible to fit them on a 99 E300 without rubbing?

What size tires would fit to be same diameter, assuming 45's but how wide?


Thanks

Luke gave you the information.

I think I was asking for new information regarding the E420 rims but I do want you to feel good about yourself in these posts. Thanks for the time and effort.

Luke you said:
17"
17x7.5 ET35
235/45-17

Will 17" e420 sport rims that are 17x7.5 with ET37 fit on a 99 e300 turbodiesel? and can I run 235s on it, if shock spacers are removed which lowers the body about 1"?


Thanks, sorry if I seemed confused, cause I am

The size Luke gave is the size of ALL Mercedes 17-in wheels for W210 and 235/45-17 is the tire size recommendation for ALL.

Actually there are a few minor wheel size variations, but they're insignificant.

Get the wheel catalog at your dealer.

Or, check here

Thanks for the help.

those measure above are all well withing the safety envelope for tire/wheel fit.
Luke knows what he's talking about. I prefer 17 but went with 18 when the
rims of choice didn't come in 17. so I ended up with 265-35-18 in back and
245-40-18 up front. no drop, OEM springs and spring spacers. no rub. have
Bilstein HD shocks, and 99 E320

for future ref, try this fit engine

Raymond thanks for the information.

I plan to put Bilstein shocks in as well. I will leave stock springs and take spacers out or change them to #1 which I think is the European spec for that car, drops it about 1" or so.

Luke, Do you know where I can get some stock 17 x 7.5 E430 Sport rims?


Thanks

Steven
