i have 19" and it dont scrape at all.. and my car is pretty low....if you do 20's you will have to go thru major fender roll, and major modifications to make it fit.. i would go 19" looks sweet..

I dont suggest you to go beyond 19's. 20's on a W203 can hardly turn and will rub like hell. With the correct offsets, 19x8.5/19x9.5 is the max size to get.

Harris just wondering how is the ride quality from 18 to 19 since you made the change recently?

I started off with two sets of Carlsson 2/5 18's, then got Monoblock VI 19", then got BBS LM 18's, and now back to 19's. Honestly, I really cant feel a whole lot of difference among them. I had the stock AMG 17's on my car in the past 3 weeks prior to installing the GFGs, I really cant feel the car being a lot more bumpier than before.

I think another big factor has to do with the seats. MB build some very solid seats. You are sitting on the seats afterall, not on the wheels. Sure, the 19's are supposed to be harder, but not by much IMO.
