Wheels for a 190E 2.3L 8V

I need to know what is the BIGGEST wheels I can use on my car, I am willing to do all modifications necessary, and will upgrade my whole suspension to handle the extra stress that 20" rims (if they would fit, that's the biggest I want to go) might expose it to. I want to do this for looks only, but of course safety is my primary consideration. Performance is secondary for now. Will anyone tell me if 20's will fit if I install the the EVO II kit with EVO I fenders (a great looking hybrid kit!). Thanks to everyone for you pending replies!

Hard to say, but why not go for 18's with the evo kit. That would look very sharp.

20" Rims and tires are very very expensive, and you will most likely bend the rims on any driving you do. 18's are also easy to bend on cars that they are squeezed onto with thin rubber.

Personally I would not go higher than 17. 190e's also look very good with 16's.

This is only my opinion for you though. I too think it would look absolutely sick with 20's, but I just wouldn't do it to most any car.

Yeah, I guess once I get all this work done, I'm going to have to think heavily about what fitment to use.....That would look sick, though, wouldn't it?!
