    Hey, yes they should work. I ran 9.5 in the low 10s before and for the my MAE was around 11.5 et 23-25 so the rear with 18x11 should snug with no problem at all.

    However, if I can chime in more, the front fenders on these w210 platform are not strong and I have riped a fender before,...so make sure u alway ROLL fenders and not cut any of the "meat" away. Fender rollers works best and you an always pull with enough heat and muscle

    Also, I have never was fond of coilovers on these cars, I heard the K2sports go low, but I doubt it. So most of the time is used lowering spring (a bunch that ranges from lorinsers, eibach), however what suits me best was using cut Lorinser springs and coupled the front struts with w202 yellow bilsteins and w124 eibach/sachs shocks in the back. car does not bounce and purrrr like a kitten when it drives.

    Man that looks awesome, I just ordered the 14-12 stud conversion so I can run 5x114.3 wheels and I'm hoping to snag some decent wheels this weekend and get my new bumper painted too

    W210 are one of the best platform to snug wide wheels in my opinion. Bare in mind that most of the pics below was done by pulling fenders with fender rollers.....and my car has always been static..no air

    just for your reference, here is my past w210...let me know if you want more info and sorry for whoring your page....

    Here is 19 9.5 front and 11 - no rub at all the et was around 15ish all around.





    here is 18 9.5 and 11.5 et around 20 all around.

    That one with the rota's looks awesome I just need to see if I'd be able to fit them, there 18x10 front and 18x12 rear and 5x114.3 so I'd have to run wobble bolts

    Thanks, I'm kinda wanting to keep 18s so I can have a little more meat, but I found some 18x9.5 cosmis racing wheels for 800 with tirespect but there 5x114.3 and I would need wobble bolts, all the good wheels I find I'll need to run wobble bolts witch means I can run spacers

    That is kind of the goal but a little different, but I was wondering if anyone knew this car or knew the wheels specs, they looked like rota's and the only ones I could find are 18x10f and 18x12r and Idk if I'd be able to clear them and I'd have to run wobble bolts or adapters
