What happens when you get bored..

As the title suggests.... I just had a bit too much time on my hands today and got curious lol

Before anyone starts flamming, obviously these wheels arent made for my car and I wont be using them. It clearly shows how crap the cars' offset is.

Pictures speak for themselves.

N.S. Wheels are 20x10 all around DPE wrapped in 275/30 that came off my Audi A5.

Please explain why you blame the car instead of this just being a matter of what fits and what does not? Do you blame your feet if the shoes are too small?

lol exactly why I had my disclaimer on my original post.

Anyways in regards to your analogy, it was more so in reference to being able to acheive a aggressive setup rather than blaming the car. What fits might not be my preference, is that not a matter of personal choice?

I know its my biggest dilemma atm. Im finding that with these kinds of offset it really comes down to the brand and design of the wheels offered. Some wheels designs albeit with the same offsets offer alot more concave than others.

Thank you, I understand better. I thought "crap" meant you believed MB engineering had done something fundamentally wrong. Having never tried to achieve a more aggressive look with wheels, it did not occur to me that this would be an obstacle. The choice is certainly a personal preference!

Yes "crap" as in very limited options in terms of wheels set up. Im definately accustome to aggresive stance and its very hard to acheive that with this car unless im willin to modify the guards extensively.
