real quick wheel fitment Q

lets say i found a fitment that i like on a 17 inch wheel

for shits sake, lets say its:

17x8 +15
17x9.5 +20

if i wanted similar fitment but in 16s, would the offsets or widths need to change since its losing an inch in height but still pull off the same look.
if so, how much/if any?

I'm not sure what suspension style your benz is rocking, but depending on how much it cambers in under squat it might be a little less flush on top, nothing a small space wont hurt.

No dont go any lower in offset in the rear. Thats a good fitment (albeit very aggreesive). Think of it this way, with 16s and the smaller profile tire youll be able to drop it lower (as Hotbox with the wheels you like was limited on his drop even with airride since tire sat on fender). Stay with a fitment like you said up top and youll be good
