What's the widest tires you would recommend on the rear of my W126 (89 560SEL)?? My rims are 17x8 et22. Right now, I have 235/45/17 all the way around, but I want to go at least 245 on the front and much bigger in the back soon. Tell me my limits as well as your recommendations. I want a really 'mean' look. Thanks.
