I just got a 1995 S320 and i want to put bigger wheels on the car. How large can I go without altering the suspention or causing any rubbing? What do I need to look for to get the right fit.
Thanks alot,
Brian

Brian,

Mr. FastCalc and FastPort here, old boy! Small world isn't it?

For your '95 S320, I see the standard and "Plus 2" fitment;
Standard Fit:
P225/60R16 97H

Plus 2 or More:
P245/45ZR18

Personally I wouldn't do it because it will completely change the ride (like a truck!) but will improve the handling. Such a world, can't have both!

You could also go to a P235/55R16 with no change in ride (except maybe a little better) and slight improvement in handling.

Check out my MB ECU page (red house) if you need some info.

The biggest wheel i have seen is one an S-Class coupe and also a Sedan which had 21 inch Giovanna Dramas.
But i would suggest to 20 as biggest the little extra tire from the 21-20 help a bit more.
