the abs lights on on my 99 is200se the abs stays on but the trc light is flashing had it checked and cables are connected they then pluged it in and reset it the lights went off and the trc button worked as should do I then drove round block to test and soon as touched brake pedal the lights came back on the mechanic wasn't sure if sensor or bearing so we have ordered a sensor to try it could it be anything else or have we done it in correct order theres no noises coming from bearing but if sensor dosent work will change bearing unless should try something else first what you guys think is there something to try before bearing but after sensor just if sensor dosent work that is

thanks guys i had feeling they may be not fit now confirmed with above they are amazing and would look good but having thought about it these wheels need road going tyres so i think i could buy 18 deep dish for the cost of tyres for these rims and no arch mods needed but how many 20 inch is200 models are there if any any way thanks for advice i am thinking a wide kit but know inside its not going to happen so back to basics 17 or 18 inch deep dish with lowered springs thanks again i will post pics of wheels when i get them on car 17 18 20 which ever i end up with
