Title: Any idea what size tires these are?
Post by: teahead on June 25, 2021, 17:55:46

Wonder if they rub. 

I'd love to stuff a lot of tire on the car like this:

The Böhringer Spa–Sofia–Liège Pagoda ran 15" wheels and tires for greater ground clearance.

These do look (at least) 15 inch to me. Beefy.

Rob,
The Bohringer car had 15” steelies. But as Cees said, these look beefier than that
The one piece hubcaps for 15s, should you want them, came from 123 limo’s and 600s. Not cheap…
Unless, of course, you’re going for that “road-rat” look in which case we expect to see your car slammed…

It looks to me like that the front tire will rub on a right turn.
They look gigantic. Did MB ever make steelie rims larger than 15" ?
Cool car though.
