[W126 Coupe] Changing Wheel Size

[Axel Wulff]

You'd want to stay with a tire profile which will keep the overall wheel 
diameter as close to stock as possible (64.8 cm).

So with a 17" wheel you can go with (depending on the width of your rims...) 
245/45 or 275/40.
With 18" you can use 245/40 or 275/35.

Not that i'd recommend 18" wheels. The ride will probably get quite rough.
