Is it possible to fit them without any major modifications ?

I drive a W202 from 1997 with OEM "sport" springs...it is already lowered a little bit.

just roll the front fenders thats all.

Im running staggared 17"s with 2.5inch drop like OCKlasse and my fenders arent rolled yet but it only rubs when I have 2 other people in the car and when there is a nice dip in the road, other then that they dont even rub much, its only in the front nothing at all in the rear.

I have a 1999 Sport with Lorinser 18 , without rolling the front fenders.

Go for it..

You can do 20''s if you want. But like stated, if not already done the fenders should be rolled. Pretty easy to do. Bolt the roller to the hub & slowly go to town(if you were in the states you can rent one from tirerack.com & even get a refund when you return it). I think all cars should be rolled from the factory :D

Thanks. :p

I'm planning on not going to low because we've got a lot of "speed bumps" over here...:(
