W164 ML arch flares

[camp freddie]

I have purchased a set of 20" AMG wheels for my ML. Due to their width the tyres will protrude beyond the arches by a few mm. Does anybody know of body shop/ dealer who would do a competent job of painting and fitting the arches my car ideally around either Nottinghamshire or London.

They're in Milton Keynes & i know they recently painted & fitted some ML55 AMG wheel arches to an ML270cdi. Looked impressive when done.

I wouldnt expect you'd need flares with the 20" wheels.

The arches on MLs are huge!!!..I used to run 11" wide 23" brabus wheels on mine and they were contained within the standard arches

Really, that's interesting. All the American MB sites I've been on have been saying and showing images of the 10" wheels with 295mm tyres protruding the arches so naturally I assumed they would be required.
