[W126 Coupe] Important Wheel Offset Question

[Axel Wulff]

Dick,

You did not indicate how wide your rims are, but here is what Talbir's 
spreadsheet gave me:

Width  Offset  Distance from outer rim to hub  Difference from stock
8"         18                  3.25"                                  0.49"
8.5"      18                  3.50"                                  0.73"
9"         19                 3.79"                                  1.03"
10"        19                 4.29"                                  1.53"

It looks as though you should be fine with those dimensions. The AMG specs 
for our cars have up to 4.5" as the max distance from the outer rim to the 
hub and even with 10" rims you come in at less than that.

Regards,
Axel J. Wulff
