I would be very grateful if you petrol heads could give me the benfit od your experience in fitting 16 or 17ts to 190's and dropping them.

I know this question must get asked all the time so if you could direct me to some links instead, all good!

Please save me from graduating from the school of hard knocks, once again!

Basicallay I want to fit some 16 or 17's and drop it by 40 - 60 mm.

I am a competent mechanic, and happy to do a bit of arch work. BUT Am a complete newbie to OFFSETS, etc.

So what offsets can I use. IS dropping the car 60 mm ALOT of arch work? Is dropping the car 40 mm ANY archwork?

I noticed audi's have the same PCD (112mm), but what about the center hole size (can they get drilled out)? Will they fit as real cheap on EBAY!

Am I restriced to mercedes only wheels?

What wheel/tyre size should i be looking for???

Many Thanks!

Have you found anything out about OFFSETS?, As if I understand things the mercedes 190 is limited by wheel choice, because of the offset. But I dont know really!

so 205/40/17 for 7 x 17 or 215/40/17 for 7.5 x 17? Is that right?
