19" Fit W124 Wagon: Mmmm and my W124 sedan?

I would LOVE to have 19's Mono II's on my car. I see them on Wagons, I see 19's on wagons, so myquestion is, why not on mine? the diameter should be the same no? I'd just roll on 35 tires. I Guess I'll hav eto do w/ 19x8.5 , be a tight fit, but might work after rolling the fenders. What do you think? too "extreme?"

but I forsee two problems: Camber, and tire wear/cost.

What do you guys think? Should I just upgrade to 18's ?

the W124 chassis has a problem with wheels that are over 7.5" wide .... 8.0" or 8.5" wide wheels will stick out of the fenders and rub when the car is loaded down or cornered aggressivley

Subman has 18x8 wheels, and rolled the fenders, so that helped the problem.

So technically 19 inch wheels will have the same diameter as a 17 or 18, but only the width will cause problems right?
