Need a modified bushing

Many probably know what I think about big tire packages. Well, I have a friend that don't listen and wants me to fix the problems. He has 20in wheels on a 92 500sel. Arrrrr!!!!

The loading has torn the rear lower control arm bushings. Even the one on a year old brand new control arm replaced for smacking a curb.

On BMWs there are many people who build urethane bushings or otherwise for the same sort of problems. We actually use 750il bushings cut down to the smaller size for a number of models.

Anyway I am seeking a source for modified bushings so he can keep his wheels and not have to replace those soft hydraulic MB ones every 8 months.
