[W126 Coupe] 2 Questions

[Markus Meyer]

 Rob, I think the first suggestion, assuming you want to stay with the wheels you have, is to get the right sized tires.  That is problem number one.  Problem number two may be the offset.  If you decide to get totally new wheels, make sure the offset and tire size is correct for the diameter wheel you are buying. Good luck,Markus--- On Sun 08/28, < Dentrpt at aol.com > wrote:From: [mailto: Dentrpt at aol.com]To: mbcoupes at mbcoupes.comDate: Sun, 28 Aug 2005 11:43:49 EDTSubject: Re: [W126 Coupe] 2 Questions

With the current 5mm spacer, the front wheels/ tires are right at the edge of the fenderwell.  With 20mm spacers, I believe the tires would protrude outside the fenderwell, which is not the look I am looking for.  Even if I went with 20mm spacers, wouldn't I need longer bolts, as I will loose 20mm of thread?  Oh and by the way, the rear wheels are tucked away nicely and do not pose a problem.  But by adding the spacers in the front and not the rear, it would, in my estimate, make the car look silly with the front tires (possibly) sticking out and the rear not. Your thoughts?
