Just wondering if any one has ever had 16x9j wheels on the front, or would you need a ridiculous amount of stretch? not sure if i should get 16x9 all round or 16x7,5 up front and 16x9 on the back? |

id love to see 9`s on the front, bu for the easier option id go for 7.5 fronts and 9 rears with loads of stretch all round, or maybe 8`s on front with 195/40/16 all round baby, with a mega low drop :-) |

i might go crazy and go for the 9's with a higher offset on the front not sure thou, they only do 7,5 in the wheels ive sin as the lower width could have a proper nose down stance with the thinner wheels hmmm im undecided used to run 8's all round on my old polo 7,5 for a merc just seems a bit small |

You'll probabaly have to get the camber/caster checked aswell or else you might scrub the hell out of the tyres. |

I went 10's front and back on my W126  Heres some other 190e examples though....       Every car in these pics are Running 9's on the front. 9's do fit the front with a 215/40 Tyre And rear should be the same.hope this helps |
