so only standard size amg pentas will fit on the 116 without modifications?

Mforcer

I believe 9" wide rims with et13 will fit the rear and 8" wide with et11 will fit the front. Both may need the fenders rolled. I have 7.5" wide et17 and have not needed to roll the fenders.

I did read of a custom 116 wide-body project...

You're not thinking Nutz are you?  He sold it back in Alaska.  From memory, the new owner was going to continue the project.  I hope so.

Des

These babies ran 15x12's on the front and 15x15's on the back  :o

Ok picked these up from Ebay Germany, they are going to cost about $450 Including shipping! i think i scored...i am going to refinish the wheels with a black center and polished lip...it will look fab!




Des

That's excellent mate, did you end up and get the 10" wide body wheels as well?


500eguy

No, to rich for me...They sold for about $540 without shipping.... and they needed refinsihing. Plus i still would've had two rear wheels....would have liked to have picked them up!
