20 x 18.5 because 4matic's must be one size for all wheels, as not to mess up balance of the geometry. You CAN NOT use staggered wheels. Your car is a base with an add on option.

I don't think so, you might have clearance issues with the front fenders. I know the rear will be fine.

Your wheels

I have the same car. I run the 255's up front, and 295's in the rear. Previous comments are accurate, you DO need to be careful about running staggered, but the important thing is to ensure that your front and rear wheel and tire diameter are identical, or within a minimal amount of variance (I believe MB is 4% variance?). Right now, your car is running identical wheels and tires at all four corners. IF you choose to stagger, you must ensure that the fronts and rears have the same diameter...mine are 27" tall exactly both front and rear, and I run a deep concave setup. Hope this helps.

What color is your designo (interior and exterior)? Finally someone on this site with a post facelifted car. I think we are now up to three, so far. Please tell me it's s full designo and not 040 black with a designo interior!

Mine is the Designo Black Pearl edition. W70 Champagne white leather seats, with piano black wood, and the 046 Designo Platinum Black Metallic.
I am running 255/30/20 up front with 295/30/20 in back.

The car has 55k miles on it now, and it is my daily driver. That said, it's in the shop getting the paint tuned up. I'll post pics when I get it back. The wheels and offset I will get you too. It looks like the stock AMG 20" setup except they are brushed aluminum, and nicely concaved in back.

I DO love it! Thanks for the kind words. No, this one had the factory 5 spoke 20" AMG's when I bought it. I had it shipped up from FL.

Did you lower your car?

No, it's still at standard height. There are far too many rough roads here for lowering the car. I thought about going to 22" wheels and lowering it, but given how many flats I get annually as it is, it just doesn't make sense for me. At this height, I can also run Blizzaks in the winter. While I have an SUV too, it helps to know that the sudden change in the weather won't get me stuck.
