So I just got these wheels
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...vip=true&rt=nc
I am looking for tires and have narrowed it down to Direzza Dunlops or Vredestein Sessantas.
I am thinking about doing a drop probably 1.2 inches so stretching the tires will probably be necessary?
What does my cars shocks ride on stock? (c280 97)
Will I need to replace my shocks or can I drop springs in? and are coilovers worth it or should I just go with springs?
The plan:
225/35/20
255/30/20
Does this set up sound good? any other suggestions?

must i shave?
20s are too big on a w202...
+1. Even 19s is pushin it if you wanna lower it and not have it cambered out and tucked in. 18s are perfect.. But hey I hope it works out for you I guess you gotta try different thingsOriginally Posted by wichipong
Well since the OP stated he already bought these. There are a couple of people who have run 20s on 202's before it takes a little bit of fender rolling and shaving here and there.

roll your fenders. Lowered on 20s requires tuck so you need a roll or it wont fit. Also you will blow out stock shocks if you just lower on springs.
Completely mad.
'99 C230K, intake and exhaust more on the way.
'86 MKIV Escort RS Turbo, stock for now, chip and more boost on the way
'75 Fiat 124 Spider, koni shocks, bigger carb and drilled/slotted brakes

Yeah so basically I will have to try it since I already bought the wheels lol.
Ill probably just put the wheels on after i buy the tires probably direzzas.
Ill roll my fenders when the time comes but are coilovers worth it or should i just go with a spring and shock set up?
if you have the extra cash then go coil overs... but srping and shock set up is still a fraction of what coilovers cost..
if you got money to spend like that go bags. Its your best bet for drive-ability on 20s, But like Zmatt said DO NOT just throw springs in there you'll blow out your stock struts in a quickness. Which in turn will leave the ass end bouncing all over the place.
Heres she looks with the EVOX
