Always liked those wheels. I say go for it. But if you get those I'd go 17 on them, they just look better in 17 then 18 imho.

if you really lower the car and you go to extra wide wheels it will look good imo..

If some of that 2 things fail, it will look bad (imo)

sorry for my honesty, but imo it will look bad on your car..

about spacers, it depends of the ET, but I'm sure that you'll need..I have 9 and 10j 17" on my w203, and I think is deep dish that makes the wheels look good on 17"..

again: this is just my opinion

it would look lot better if you go to 8,5 at front and go to 9,5/10 at rear..

Long as it sits flush with the body I think it'll be ok. You can always order new outer lips to make it wider later. As for offset, +38 is the highest I'd recommended. without rolling the fenders lowest I'd go is +28 front and +30 rear but that depends on width of the wheel. If you stick with 7.5 and 8.5 you can go lower on the offset.

No i apreciate your honesty wanna do this right no flaws for the first mod will possibly have to go to 18's to get the width your talkin about
