Wheels for a w126

crazy question but do you guys think a 18x10 +12f 18X12 0r can be done on a w126 with just a really good fender roll and stretched tires..

i know i will probably get flamed for this but i really want to know how wide of a rear wheel a 126 can handle.

also, whats the best suspension to lower a 126 on, is there any type of coilover or adjustable sleeve shock combo ?


thanks
