928 rims
Porsche 928 rims were the answer I found. I had 944 disks fitted to my splittie and so that i could lower the front and have decent suspension travel I fitted 928 flat disk style wheels in 16x7J all round. At the back I have to use a 10mm spacer to move the 205x55 tyres out from the springplate bolts. Up front I am running bay window ball joint arms machined to fit a splittie beam and so fitted a heavy duty bay window anti roll bar and to clear this with my 195x45 tyres I have used a 5mm spacer but I still get slight tyre rub on teh anti roll bar on full lock. I also managed to get myself a set of 16" 928 teledials which also have 65mm offset in the 7J width.
Most 17" mercedes wheels I have seen dont seem to have offsets bigger than 37mm, but then if you do go teh porshce route you'll either need to run adapters which will knock 20mm off the offset of teh wheels or get some custom drilled bay disks (I would love to know if these exist) and drums or you'll need to get Porsche disks.
