Hi everyone i'm still trying to decide on some new wheels :ashamed: i've been looking at some nice Merc 19" alloys :driver: they are: ET 45 sized 8.5" on the front and 9.5" wide on the rear, now my question is does anyone have this setup? - I'm assuming that they will rub (car is lowered on coilovers) but has has anyone fitted these and what mods were done to get them fitted?
Pics appreciated :evilgrin:

Not 9.5" but have some merc sagems which are 9" wide offset 48 225.40.18 on the rears and they look the bollocks Lovely stance :happy2:

they should sit flushed 9.5 with correct offset.
im looking at some BBS RS 17x8J ET20 :grin: but i havent a clue wether i'll get them under arch or over my R32 brakes!

A 9.5 et 45 will poke on the rear check my photos i run the same

I have AMG 9.5J Et44 all round with 235/35 all round. Would fit perfect if the fronts were 8.5J
-
A bit of an old thread i know but its pointless starting a new one.
I want to know (as ridiculous as you think it may be) if 9.5s will fit up front?
Obviously i expect some light arch work to be done but want to know how difficult itll be.

I always thought 8.5s were the max on the front without lots of work

You're correct :happy2:
8.5 et 42 or you can just about stretch a 19x9et 41 (bentley wheels) on with the arch screw mod and 205 tyres.

Yeah ive seen the 19x9's so i was thinking a 18x9.5 would fit.
