Shaun_mb6 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 iv just done this on the rare rims website for a quick sample.doesnt do it justice, but i think it will look good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sx baz Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 i was planning on fitting the same to my vti, a 16x8 et20 with stretch tyres, ill be interested to see how you get on, luckily i know archenemy so get a good deal when it comes to roll the arches. Failing that i might look for some old skool rims and make them fit.getting them in without running excessive camber will be the hardest part but with the right amount of lowering and stretch i think it will look awesome.

Shaun_mb6 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Im the same, i dont want to have too much camber, or it will look wrong.. its going to be alot of work, adjustment and a fair bit of £££ so when the updates start, ill get a thread up and runningthanks for the support 1"£££$££"!!

sx baz Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 if you want tyres that will stretch nicely and give decent grip i can recommend falken fk452's, on my other car im running a 215/45 on a 9j which is quite subtle and a 245/40 on a 10.5j rim and both went on easily.

knightmaric Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I've been looking at rota grid v's lately too!Absolutely awesome wheel.I think i'd end up going for the 15x7 though in black with a polish lip Just to show what 15x8's are like on an MB, I used to have a set of Schmidt Modern Lines in 15x8 et+25.Just a test fit when I had them at the standard ride height.They are about an inch or so wider than the arch Standard ride height.Here is a photoshop of what the car would have looked like if I didn't sell them and bought coilovers.I say go for it man and do the arch work.The finish will be awesome.
