Has anyone ever thought about composing a w123 wheel guide as a sticky in either this section or the Wheels & Tires section? Which MB rims fit, which fit but require spacers, location of needed spacers (front only or front and rear) and thickness of spacers? I have to imagine that those looking to move from 14" tires to larger diameters would find it handy, especially newer members.

Just a thought.

You have. Search the Wheels & Tires forum and start composing

Chapter 40 in the FSM gives you a good start - take a look and you'll soon see how complicated it could get - and that's only the standard MB stuff...
