I can see in your picture where yours were rubbing.

Many of the 124's with 225's I've seen rub ever so slightly in the exact same spot.

That was where it had the wrong wheels on it before i got it ( offset was ET25 ) ...

Never rubbed while i had it.

See this thread ....

W124 AMG cars came with 225/45/17's from the f a c t o r y ...... , anyone that tells you that if you go bigger than 215/45/17 it will rub is dead wrong.

BUT AMG modified the cars to ensure absolutely no rubbing under any circumstances with those sizes.

There is a paper (somewhere) with the modifications that they did to the bodywork.

Suggest interested people google it.

Look man:Many of us told you that 225/45 is the best way to go.If you like you can have 215/45 front and 225/45 or even better 235/45 for the rear.
