Offset question

[flagstaff]

i'm looking (on ebay) at a set of alloys for my W124 coupe. they're 17" 7.5x17 et 37 fronts, and 8.5x17 et 30 rears. will they fit? someone has said that the offset for a W124 chassis must be 35 ... is this true?

thanks guys, for any info, tips, urls etc

i started a thread about wheel offset and got advised that ET37 is ok. the rears have more space its just the front shocks get in the way of any thing bigger good luck

The SL based on a 124 uses 34-35, 37 on the front is OK, should be no trouble with clearing brakes, same with the rear, 30 is ok using a wider wheel.
I had 8.5 on my 1989 TE.
