You may have to do more then roll the arches as the 9.5x19 rear and 8.5x19 front may hit the suspension on the inner side.

What offset are the wheels ?

If you exceed a 25" OD on the tires and front to back OD are mismatched you will realize problems with the ABS and ASR ( if you have it ).

Typical 8x18 ET35 with 225/40R17 is about as large as you can go with zero wheel arch mods and no suspension interference

I love that site, its great even if you just use it to get a general idea of how many big brands offer parts for your or any car youre thinking of getting.

The wheels were made for Mercedes vehicles and came with the correct offsets and that there is no rubbing on any off the suspension components.I have all ready trimmed the rear arches and lightly rolled the fronts,just to get me by.Iv brought two newish genuine front wings this week and rolled and flared one all ready when i had a spare hour today.There is a really bad none genuine o/s front wing on and it must be at least 20mm to short across the arch opening!Cant believe anyone would even bother to fit it let alone even spray it and pass it off to a customer.!

Those springs will be too low at the front on the E320 coupe. The correct springs for the coupe are 29569-2.

All 124 wings are the same with the exception of the 500E/E500.
