[W126 Coupe] Increased Wheel (Rim) Diameters

[Jay Febish]

No. Mine are specifically for the w126s. The ET18 for the 8.5", and  
ET17 for 10" or may be the other way around, I always forget. no  
spacers are needed. IIRC, they also made a 9" for the front of the  
widebody, though they could probably be used on the rear of a non  
widebody. Having never actually seen a widebody in person, I've never  
actually seen any 9"s. On mine I used 8.5"s all around because I  
wanted to be able to rotate the tires. BTW, I'm probably going to sell  
them now that I don't have my SEC any longer. As a replacement, I just  
bought a 300CE (SEC junior) with 17" monoblocks.
