[W126 Coupe] Need help with wheel offset

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Talbir:

Great information.  I feel much better now armed with your details.  The
width of the rubber on the front measures 9 inches and the width on the rear
measures a whopping 11 inches using a tire caliper to measure.  The lowering
was an inch in the front and an inch and 1/2 in the rear as I recall.  The
car sits with a slight rake where the nose is lower than the rear.  I may
have those number reversed (1 1/2 rear and 1 in the front) but, that was the
amount Carl and Steve set me up with when I first fitted the other 18's.

I am having the rims broken down and rebuilt and polished.  So, knowing they
will fit helps me greatly where the $ are flowing to the wheel shop.

Thanks again!

Dick
