  • My Tanker 240D

    I first got the car sometime last year in a trade for an 88 Mazda Pickup.
    It looked like any old 240d driven by an old man. It had tinted windows which it still does.
    Couldnt find an actual picture but it looked like this

    Then I cut the springs 2.5 front and 1.5 rear and I bought these old Epic Penta wheels 16x8 et11 the rear was spaced out to a final offset of -6. My brothers car always in the shadows

    Painted them at some point

    My license plate never gave up haha
    Then I got the baller 17 monoblocks and cut some more off the springs


    Now she sits on steelies waiting for new wheels and some love.
    I've been driving it consistently for over a year no problems other than replacing the alternator but at 350000mi thats expected. These old Diesel Mercedes last forever

      The Pentas were boss. What's the next choice for wheels?

        I love those Pentas. You should have kept them.


        BTW, how slow is the 240?

            My friend had some extra tires sitting around and some test fitting happened.

            Gonna run 205/50 instead of 225/45
            Probably pull the fenders a little too

                    Cut arches, add flares, space out rears, drop more Legend

                        Rolled my fenders and been driving fine since until this morning when i noticed the crazy toe wear on both of my fronts so waiting on some money for new tires then an alignment for now she'll sit on some bundts. Also bought some Euro headlights but one of the lenses arrived broken so waiting for a new lens from Latvia.
                        Heres the last picture since rolling fenders

                              BADASS , God Corvette wheels look good on everything! I agree with whats already been said ... Flares and more low. But honestly looks sick already. Looks so agressive
