Alex's 1993 MB "From old to new" Build thread!
Wheels are on! I will post pics when I get back from the track. Everything went smooth no rubbing or hitting no where. I can go lowe if I want too but I will have to roll the fenders a little.

Thanks
Cool I asked Rishie from autoRnD for advice and these are the specs he gave me per my requests.
Basically I told him I didnt mind rolling but didnt want to pull. He gave me the best fitment possible . I am running a bit of camber in the rear I am going to raise the car tomorrow once I bring the wheels home then adjust accordingly until I can get back to a safe yet aggresive stance.
We will see, Mannykiller I got the NT05 because of you man..lol
I was going to run azenis but when I told my tire guy I found a cheap place for wheels he beat them.

Sweet brotha! I wasnt sure how low you wanted to run.. But thats awesome!! you'll love them great feedback etc...but don't expect them to last over 4k if your running through the canyons etc..and alignment alignment alignment!!
p.s...a little bit of camber isn't necessarily bad...it can be safe..and actually benifit handling in certain incremints..
The car is super dirty so please dont mind that. This week I am rolling the fenders a bit so I can go lower on the car. Hopefully my lip arrives soon.
I also purchased a Nardi Deep corn 330 w/ Boss kit.
Quick recap the wheels and tires are -
WORK Emotion XD-9 - NITTO NT05
18x9 Front +38mm offset- 235/40/18
18x10 Rear +38mm offset- 265/35/18

the fan is control via switch inside along with a external water pump . The set up is mainly used for after run cool downs. On the street it's superb too but I don't need it. It's mainly to battle heat soak in the bay
GOLD!
I knew when I saw your post name, I was going to get something good.
Hey, Mr alex, can you do me a favor? Can you put me first on your list IF you ever sell this car?

You do realize that I live in Lancaster right? and that we have a meet every sunday at 5:30 right off the 14... you have to pass us to get out to willow!! hit me up next time you head out there...
Ok bro I remembered when I got tonthe track your avatar said Palmdale he'll I passed through Lancaster and Palmdale .I will have to check with my buddy to see when is the next event then we can meet up out there if it's not on one of your meet dates.
Installed the nardi corn 330mm and I used a miata boss kit it's the only one other than works bell that cancels the turn signal and I only paid $20 brand new. The steering wheel stayed in the same position as the own one. Once I install the quick release it will move up a few, I will post* pics when I get home
