W140 Offsets

I tried looking this up and got no where. My buddy just picked up one and we have been going over this for a while now. Share some of your experiences on what worked, and what was to extreme. Not looking for something over the top but to get it pretty flush with a very very light pull on the fender. Seen a lot of wheels out there in the same bolt pattern but whats good.

Will post pics of the progress that happens in another thread.

never understood this. why would you size for a light pull? when has a light pull ever looked better than stock body? pulls are bandaids for bad spec selection. if you wanna go ag then do that s**t right (at which point it doesn't matter).

For a flush look the biggest you can run on a W140 chassis with little to no fender work is: 9 +15 front, 10 +15 rear, OR 10 + 25 front and 11 +25 rear.

For the 10/11" setup you will have to run 225/35 up front and 245/35 on the rears to clear. Hope this helps.

Well the W140 takes a high offset in the rear so its kinda of hard to run a 11" wide wheel with ET25 unless you have a ruberband tire and rolled/pulled quaterpanels
