    you know how it works, it turned into a style. And even in america having wheels outside of the fender can get you a ticket....but its just not that serious here. And out inspections arent as in depth like everywhere else.

    you drive a benz you should know this stuff!

    I have 245s up front and 275s out back. Will be going with 285s (or as big as I can fit) once I mount my wheels.

    Yeah, I will be running 20x8.5s and 20x10s. I think I can only fit 285s on the rear.

    Only reason I didn't go with 19s. However, 19s are cheaper than 20s, and just as attainable now, so I hear. haha.

    Yep, fitment and drift.

    With the 205s stretched, they spin more like 185s. With the power I'm making, I should be okay sliding. --we'll add more power later.
