W116

Hi All,

I am looking at getting new wheels for my 450SE that are 16x8 et11 for the front and 16x9 et13 for the rear.

My calculations suggest that either a 215/55 or 235/50 will be a close match to the original tyre size but don't know if these are right for the rim width or whether they will even fit my car without rubbing.

Also, would there be any issues having wider tyres at the rear comapred to the front?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike.

Thanks Luke.

Would you still suggest the same size (225/55-16) if all four wheels were 16x8 or would it be better to just use 16x7 and 215/55-16? What other rims and tyres are people running on their W116?

Thanks again,
Mike
