E350 Sedan with 20 Inch Rims
Hey, I am new to this forum and I have just recently purchased some 20 inch rims for by 2011 E350 Sedan. I have noticed some cars with this size rims. I have been getting confilicted statements regarding the size tire that would fit without rub. I have been told that I can use a 245/35/20 in the front and a 275/30/20 in the back. However, most mechanics are saying that I will get rub with this configuration. They are recomending 245/30/20 in front and 285/25/20 in the back. I really do not want a rough ride and tires that potentially can be to small a sidewall. Can someone help.

Robbie, I was reading this earlier and was trying to make a determination of what you finally went with?
I am considering 245/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the back, I want to fill a little bit of the gap but not lose the ride quality or get rub.
Thanks

In the link Robbie provided, he clearly stated what he went with - 235/35-20 front and 275/30-20 rear (Kumho ecsta Spt). It is also clearly stated that 245/35-20 will not fit front without "some" work done to perch plate ("modifying" that perch is not recommended).

All the guys here is SFLA want me to do the 245/30/20 and 285/25/20. The look is sick and the roads are pretty good here but I am just nervous about the ride and damage as I am not the most careful guy when it comes to slowing down.
I am going to go with the recommended 235/35/20 in the front and 275/30/20 in the back. I just want a little more rubber on the road.

Hey anyone with 20 on a 2011 sedan what offsets are you using on the back and front. I hAve 32 in front and 38 in the back and the back looks like it is sticking out a bit

You never said what widths your wheels are.
If rears are 9.5", then with et38 they would be flush with fenders.
However, based on your comment, I assume that wheels are 10", so with et38 and 275 tire, it does stick out by 6-7mm. Not a big deal though.

Aboutros, looks awesome. Did you end up going with 235-35-20 and 275-30-20? I just had My rims mounted today with that tire settup and its amazing to me that the car looks like it doesn't have to be lowered.
