Car 1992 Sportline
Fenders rolled, but all stock suspension

Wheels 17 x 7.5 x et35
tires 215 x 50 x 17 Michelin Ice X

For winter snow shoes, I think the slightly taller 50s make sense on a lowered 300e.

Don't try and run 8.5's on the front! Especially with 255/45/18 tires.

RHW · 04-19-2009, 10:59 PM

On 1995 Cabriolet:
AMG Aero I's 17 x 8 et35, fenders rolled
Michelin Pilots 225x45 zr17
took some work - higher ET would have been better with 8" width rim maybe 38 to 40 would have saved a little fender work.

Some of you have CLEAR issues with rubbing just by looking at your pics. You need to state the severity of the rubbing/ride issues. Please go and edit your missed info RHW, Termite, szvook, Hietala, OZopera etc...

RHW · 07-30-2009, 03:16 AM

Hey! Just noticed your question.

I thought to post back that these (17" aero I) wheels rubbed after being worked, but the 'edit' function was already disabled.

And I had the ET wrong - no such thing as an aero I et35, (so no one here will ever face off with my problem).

steven07 · 08-01-2009, 11:48 AM

hi everybody!,

17x7.5' ET 35 215/45 will rub or not?

thanks.

ZorroAMG · 08-01-2009, 06:18 PM

DUDE! You've made like 3 threads already. This is an info thread on what WORKS, not another "will this fit" thread.

Read both pages and see for yourself.
