I recently installed a set of 17” AMG Monoblock II rims on my ’92 400E. I choose 215/45/17 tires for the front and 225/45/17 for the rear. When I looked down on the front tires, the rubber really sticks outside the fender. This set of rim belonged to a 300E before. The rubber was inside the front fender edge when the rims were on the 300E, even with 225 tires. What is the difference between the 400E and the 300E in this area? I’m guessing that maybe the center part of the front rotor disc is thicker on the 400E than the 300E. Can I use a different rotor disc to correct this problem? I really need some advice. It is too late for me to find other rims with different offset.
