Hello to all.

I have a Q.

What is the widest wheel one can put on
the W123 chassis,more specific an '83
300TD-T stationwagen?

The stock size is 6x14 but I would like
to mount 7,7.5 or 8 with 225/45/17 tires.

Would any of these sizes fit?
And what would the off set be?


Thank you.
Louis.

I have 17x8 ET28 AMG AERO I wheels which fit absolutely perfectly on my w123 coupe with 235/45/zr17 michelin pilot sport A/S tires. It is a lot of rubber to turn, so maybe 225/45/17 would be better. You can see pictures in my website below, Ive had 18s on my car too, but I didnt like the ride.

Hi Austin.

Thank you for the reply.

By the way it looks on your site,
you have run quite a few different
rims on the your coupe.

Is the fitment of your present rims
with or without spacers?

I would like to avoid using them at all cost.

Thanks.

Louis.

no spacers....I really dont like them.
