Lorinser Alloys

[kas]

Hiya Chaps,

while wallowing in my insurance problems with my car, I have gone for some shopping therapy and bought these beauties off ebay:

Lorinser Mercedes Genuine split rims Ronal AMG S SL CL

Item no. :220475697038

The sizes are : 9J x 18" H2, Et 37, pcd 5 x 112,

I believe that the rears will be fine, but how about the 9j on the fronts, would they fit?

They look good, what size and make of tyres are you going to put on them?

The seller is a decent chap, I bought a nice set of split rims off him.

Looking here Mercedes AMG BMW new used & refurbished alloy wheels & tyres, UK wheel alloys it suggests the rears should be OK (look at the Brabus 9.5J rears).

But the biggest fronts on a 208 shown are 8.5 ET30 - with 9 and ET37 you may be in trouble (note the 8.5 ET 35 Carlssons needed steering limiters and wheel arch liner mods).

Lovely wheels

I havent looked at what tyres to get yet, any suggestions on the sizes?

I saw the guide and am taking a risk in fitting, but what the hell, I had a similar pair on my GTR several years ago and they really were the business.

Would steering limiters be difficult to fit?

Has anyone tried fitting 9j on the front of a w208?

"S SL CL" seems confusing as those cars don't take the same rims!

If the wheels are designed for the s-class then you'll need spacers AFAIK. The widest tyres you should be putting on the front of a 208 is 225 or 235, rear 245 or 255 depending on tyre brand and model. At 9" wide 225/235 tyres will give no protection from kerbs at all but should fit ok.

So would I be able to fit 9j x 18 onto the front?

Ask the seller, he knows his stuff and can supply anything else you may need.
