[W126 Coupe] AMG Monoblocks needed . Please help !!!

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Bruce:

Unless you've placed them on a lowered SEC, I'd say the tire widths are 
too big.  Running a set of H&R spacers will be no treat either.  Again 
the offset is too great.  The D93's Paul has are a direct bolt on, no 
issues on a lowered SEC. 

Max tire width in the rear is 265, front I am less certain of but, 
probably no wider than 245.  I am running 275 on a direct bolt on set of 
18 Lorrinser RSK2's.  The 275's just make it under the 'rolled' rear 
fender lip but I get a rub at 10 o'clock on the inner well when I 
throttle up too quickly, hence the 265 recommendation.  I'd check the 
archives for Talbir's spreadsheet that shows the maximums based on 
lowering, wheel diameter and tire widths.

Just my 2.

Dick
