[W126 Coupe] And yet another wheel/tire fitment question.

[Axel Wulff]

Jay,

17x10, ET 30 will not fit at the rear. You'll need at least 20 mm spacers.

17" wheels, the tire dimensions that will bring your overal wheel diameter 
the closest to OEM (205/65 HR15) would be:
235/45
245/45
265/40
275/40

If you ran 235 up front and 265 at the rear you should probably be fine.



Regards,
Axel J. Wulff
