Well I don't know how you will get them to fit unless you got a wide body kit and no fenders. The widest I would go on a w124 is 225/45/17s. You really start asking for trouble if you go wider even with the fenders rolled.

Some Quick Math:
Stock Tires are 195/65/15 = 25.0"
205/60/15 = 24.7"
215/60/15 = 25.2"

for 16" wheels:
205/55/16 = 24.9"
225/50/16 = 24.9"

for 17" wheels:
225/45/17 = 25.0"
245/40/17 = 24.7"
255/40/17 = 25.0"

Now the problem being is yourfenders can't fit 255s in the back last I checked.

Or Maybe I am just missing something, and you got major fender work done, or something, but am I right here?
