Has been done. E38 boys. Looked sh!t, apparently drove like a train and driveshaft went. Dunno if it's related with the driveshaft though.
18's on a mk3 have been done well before some guy on E38 broke a driveshaft. In a modern sense with stance in mind it hasn't been done much but there are a few in America and some more in Germany and Belgium who have pulled them off spectacularly. I'm sure I posted some pictures of more recent ones last time the topic of 18's on mk3s came up.

Still look wrong / too big on a mk3 to be honest.

Got to agree here, look awful :undecided:

Anything "Can" be made to look good in theory ;)

But with the scene nowadays 16's are spot on for looks and drivability!
Can't go wrong with a set of merc wheels with some nice boots  :cool:

Although i do like that racing Mk3  :embarassed:
