Need to know if this offset will fit a 87' 300E. My tire shop is closed and need the answer very soon, can anyone help me.

Yes it will fit on your 300e

Thanks Ronald

ummm... you sure about fitment there? I keep on reading that 35 mm is the correct offset for 17x7.5....

I know my tire shop gave me the info that 35mm was the least and 48mm the most, but I do believe they were refering to 15 ' stock wheels. I haven't measured them but I'm assuming that they are a 6" wide wheel in stock 15's. So this is going to give me another 1 1/2 on the rim width, divide that in half and its .75 of a inch or approx. 2 cm or 20 mm. So does that push the wheel out more to the fender and make it 20 mm closer? Seems to me that they will not fit, or am I doing the math wrong.

I thought it's 38 i dont think 48 will fit. 35-40 offset for 17.7.5 would be fine.

I think the 46mm might hit the calipers. 41-35 mm is the max. Though I have 30mm and they are fine.

46mm would be more inside the fenderwell if I understand offset.

The higher the number the more they sit inside the fender.

46mm might give problems with rubbing on the inside.
