I don't see any reason to vary from stock size tires - neither of my 87s show any signs that the tire can't keep up with the rest of the car. The daytons should suit you fine, friends have run them on 5.0 mustangs which rely heavily on the tire to keep the car pointed headlights forward. Someone else mentioned lug bolts possibly being different - I don't expect that they are - the difference I'm aware of is between 14 and 15" tires - but the EPC will help you out - inside the wheel should be the part number, and you can figure out what bolt should work for the wheels you have. (At least, that is how I got the correct bolts for the 190D when I upgraded it from the stock 14" wheels to the 15" wheels it has now). K

Joe, doesn't sound too bad a price. I think you will need the lugs for the 8 holers though.

Sounds like a fair price Joe. At least, that's what I see on ebay all the time. And you're saving 100 bucks on shipping costs. Watch out that the ET is correct for the W124. Something like 45?

[MBZ] New wheels for the wagon, '87 300TD
About to head out to look at a set of 6 1/2 J X 15 H 2 8-holers to replace the rather tired looking originals on the wagon. Assuming good cosmetics with only the most minor curb rash on a couple of them, Dayton tires @~60% tread, does $250 sound reasonable? I'll probably be replacing the tires fairly soon anyway. My current inclination is to stick w/ stock size tires. joe
