WOW this adds up fast!!
    the ones in the pic probably aren't the ones for sale, but they are staggerd, in case anyone cared

      Well 7's might be pretty thin for a Mk4 I would not go thinner than a 7.5" wheel.

      What we're basically telling you is that if you don't want your wheels to poke outside of the fenders, you need narrower wheels in the front. If you do want your wheels to poke out a bit from the fenders, you need wider wheels in the back or huge spacers so that it matches.

        Yeah see what you can find most Mercedes come with a staggered setup from the factory so a set with all the same size is a little odd. You should be able to track down something in a 7.5 or 8 for the front and then 8.5 or 9 for the rear!

            Wheels Tires and adapters, just set it and forget it, problem solved . They're polished too. And they aren't replicas either.

              8 and 9 with 20mm adaptors would be nice.

                Except those are 17s and the tires fit MK3s so he would need new rubber and I think 18s would be better

                  Damn! I forgot about that, I even showed these to Russell a while ago. They just look so good.
