A Mercedes wagon!? on Style 5's!!? This is madness!

Hey guys ended up picking up a set of bbs style 5's 17x8 et20
With a little bit of help from the guys over at adaptec speedware I got my adapters in 15mm putting me with an et of +5 all around and gave my car about a 1 inch drop


Needless to say a little baseball lovin and some trimming was needed to fit these



Its a rainy day down here in SD today so I went to an indoor parking garage to take some quick Iphone pictures

Enjoy

If my next car isn't a hatch...it's going to be a wagon....

Only advice is to consolidate you're updates in your own thread...

Looks sick

Nice work w210socal. I too am rolling a w203 wagon-low on coilovers. Eurowagons rule.

Sammy dragon...these aren't 70's Clark W. Griswold wagons..there's a reason they are way popular in ROW/europe..Euro drivability, non SUV tank like presence and damn near as practicle.

But, to each his own
