the guy that is auctioning them doesn't have them listed.. I want to know before he tells me so I can withdraw my bid if they will not fit my W123

is it a 7.5 or 8.5 because depending on which one of the wheels that was curbed I might need an extra


the fronts have 225's and the rears 245's

8.5's pretty serious offset. Trusty wooden ruler says 4.5" of wheel are behind caliper

k thanks bye

those are my favorite wheels too. I have heard they fit fine. since they are 17" they will clear the tie rod so from my research i think you would be ok from ET25 to ET35. My 16" are ET35 and any more than that they would hit the fender with 205/55/r16.

BUUUT, when I was looking I planned to buy them no matter what and buy spacers if I had to.

understand - just figured the offset for 230 wheels would be the same.

I have a set of 16" from a W140. For S and Giggles put one on the front of a 126 when I was doing brakes - Looked good but no way it would work (unless I was just going straight).
