Hey mate theres a search button on the right with all your answers.
Rims 16's have been fitted but ugly and wont turn. 15's with 165/45/r15 tyres fit well.
Good luck with finding a turbo motor,will have to buy f6a and get it put in. Just assuming thats the engine you want. Not sure about raised springs, not sure why you would want to raise the mb, its pretty high from factory.
arrr yeah i see thanx
i have 17s on my mb and they are fine
im sourcing a supercharger atm althought im unsure what motor is in my mb i been trying to find springs for the front of my mb so i have more clearance all round and it will look alil more staunch then
yeah 17s and they are fine althought my guards need to be flared cos they stick out about 30mm from the body and im not to sure what tyres they are they are the lowest profile tyre and they are 205 wide and wen i bought the car it had hyundai elantra 15 inch wheels on it and i didnt really buy the car for performance so didnt really pay attention to any change it still does 110 and can also spin the 17s :p thats all i care about haha yeah adelaide jap seems the go from what everyone is saying im enquiring now thanks for the help guys its much appreciated wish there was more owners from around my way on here tho
What engine? Spining 205's? Maybe a cherp. I could get my old f8b to spin, but that had 12's on at the time. I your not looking for performance why go to all the trouble of turboing it?
You can get flares for mighty boys from import monster. Upload some pics and what size profile your running, we've all seen the pics of the mighty boy with 16's and it looked way out of proportion and un-driveable.
I have a complete Cervo Mode front cut (F6A turbo) with very low mileage. I bought it in March this year, but I don't have the time to install it, at the moment (starting a business). It comes with dash, wiring, gearbox, bonnet with scoop, aircon......all the bells and wistles of a nineties car. I am prepared to part it from what I have bought if for. If interested let me know and I will find receipts.
yeah spins them not chirps and i have no idea what motor it has in it im actually just looking to do something different im not too fussed wether i turbo it or supercharged it i just think it would be unique and im not getting bolt on flares in getting the guards cut , split and rewelded so it looks cleaner im not too sure if it looks out of proportion cos in my eyes i just want it to have big wheels and be raised a lil for something different again just personal taste really and its driveable i drove it for atleast a year with 15s and a year with 17s only now ive lost my licence i wana change it abit new paint ect ect
how do i upload pics ??? i can assure u there has been no hacking of the guards and yes il admit there is very very limited room in the rear wheel arches wen no weight in the tray once weight is added theres plenty of clearance
also thanx holk but ive decided with the supercharger option just for something different thankyou anyway
To add pics just "post reply" and look for the "upload attachment" link under the text box.
How you've managed to fit 17" rims with 205/40 tyres has me baffled, because the diameter of those is 596mm, but the rear arches are only 570mm. I've got 15" rims with 165/50 tyres and there's only about 5mm of clearance front and back.
Heres pics the first day i got the 17s on unfortunately i havent taken any since and atm the car is on axel stands currently half primered and getting bits done left right and centre
like i said dude theres been nothing cut and there is very very little room like the width of a $2 coin in between the tyre and guard as u can see but it drives fine im just as baffled

Fair enough. Looks like it has been jacked up a couple of inches, but that could just be the size of the rims playing tricks on my eyes. Judging by the marks on the bodywork it must rub like a bitch! What's the turning circle like?
Billie, from a standing start you can make any wheel spin with enough RPM, but you wouldn't exactly be lighting those bad boys up in 2nd or 3rd without a heap of power.
