New MB in the family...?

Visited my parents over the weekend and noticed their neighbor who previously had a 80's Cosworth 190E out in front had put the car under a cover. Walked over to chat with the lady as she watered her plants and found out it was her deceased husbands and it's been sitting for almost a year... so long story short, it will be joining me or my friends car collections next weekend for next to nothing :)

Wheel fitment experts, what am I looking at for aggressive fitment w/ fender mods like roll/shave and slight pull. The cars old as it is and will need repaint in the distant future, so would like to get fitment spot on while I can afford to f*** up the fenders if I mess up.

Also, what sort of coilovers are out there for this application? This car will be gutted and track prepped most likely and will be aimed at most track days and general around town fun and mischief.

That's sorta like this one, but this one has a more exentuated aero package w/ a boser (sp?) hood that covers over the headlights a bit... will look amazing once it's all repainted and spiffed up.
