[W126 Coupe] 2 Questions

[Dentrpt at aol.com]

Thanks Axel!  I sure do enjoy the car.

As for the timing chain, I have a receipt that shows it to have been changed 
in 2001.  Also received a new radiator during that year.  I have receipts from 
the previous owner totaling about $4000 since 2001.  From my research, I am 
the fourth owner.

I have spoken to a few mechanics about the rub, they believe it is due to the 
wheels being a later model then what it should be fitted with.  The tire are 
235/60/16s, so I am fairly confident that the rims are 16".  Might have a few 
inflation issues if the rims were 15".  I have even tried adding 5mm spacers 
in the front to move the wheels away from the tie rods, (which I think are the 
source of the problem as they rub (slightly) on the inside lip of the wheel), 
but it didn't solve the problem, only seemed to quiet it a little.  And no the 
car has not been lowered.  Had it next to another 560 in town and it actually 
sits about two inches higher.

Not sure what ET 17 means, could you clarify??

Thanks,
Rob
