19" wheel fitment, confirm my doubts.....??
Hey guys, I've been looking for a set of nice forged wheels for some time now. Price is obviously an issue as I don't want to spend the $$$4000.00$$$ for a new set. The obvious choice of size would be 18x8.5 18x9.5.....but I've heard of a few getting 19"s under their W202. So I found these DPE's on the board:

These are my favorite wheel design also!! They are fitted to a W203 so they should share a similar offset and clear the brakes ok. However the 10" rears I'm certain would require a little fender modification I would think. I'm currently waiting to hear back about the offsets. I posted this in the wheel forum but I think I may get a better idea in this section.
The car will also be brought down about 1.2-1.5 inches sometime soon which will effect things.
THANKS FOR ANY INSIGHT!
