nice! yea lets see the wheel on the car!

8x18? on 225 tyres? there is no stretch with that tyres i think...

looks good in front but I think wider wheels at the back would look better...and drop it like its hot!

[slimadi]

Looks great. I just bought my W202 about 3 weeks ago and absolutely enjoy it.

it ended up being an 18x8.5...

little baby stretch fronts are falkens, and theyre kind of stretched, the back is yokohama, and its not very stretched...

heres a pic of the front. i still need to take the car to get it FULLY FULLY detailed... need to save up like 400-500 bucks...

have you gone wider on the rear? My W202 ran 9.5j on the front with a 225/35/19
