Thanks Lloyd and Lee. I am definitely looking for both the performance AND cosmetic advantages of such a switch. I'd like to narrow the gap between tire and fender for the cosmetics, and for performance, as the past owner of a 190E 2.3-16, I'd also love to have that kind of an awesome handling car again!

I think I'll give the E55 suspension a try- and Lloyd, after your vacation, if its not too much trouble for you to put together before and after pictures of your car with your wheels, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks for the responses and advice.

Jay
