Wheel size for w140

[satbasi]

Hi, i am after some amg monoblocks for my w140, advertised on ebay.

The seller says the size is 245 45 18 of these wheels.

Does anyone know if this is the correct size? Also if there not, what is?

I saw somewhere that the correct size is indeed 245 45 18 for the front, will they fit/look odd on the back?

They will look narrow in the back but all original wheel will do
Get some Dilfa staggered of w215
Still I used spacers on my previous w140's, looked quite ok

Hi borys, so do you rekon these fit & look ok if i use spacers on the rear wheels?

 

[Borys]

Can you add a link to auction?

That is the problem with w140s
I used to run 8.5 width eltanins on mine but didn't like the rear width (225/40/18)



swapped to 19 x 8.5 OZ Opera II with a better offset in the end but found the ride to be not a nice (225/35/19):



gone to staggered 18" brabus monoblock ii splits now and think they are a good compromise:

Nice looking w140. I think im going to refurbish my current alloys for now. Standard factory fit 5 spokes. The laquer has peeled off, also need new tyres
