C300 with 20" wheels
well im finally back from Iraq, took about 3 days before i could pick up the vehicle, but im finally happy!! she is everything i thought she would be, unfortunately its already winter time in germany, so i was only able to keep the wheels on for a few days, but i wanted upload some pics and see how she looked, so it was worth it.
for those curious, i purchase them from a seller on ebay, 20x8.5(front) 20x9.5 (back). still has the same handling as the factory, and the ride didnt change for me at all. Smooth as a baby's behind.![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

Ahh yes 20's on the w204. Perfect!! 19's seem just a tad too small on the re-designed body. But on the w203 20's are way too overbearing. Looks good...... The Offset seems a little off though.

I like it....its different and will set you apart when the 204 eventurally flood the market....since you have 9.5 on that back that makes it staggered right? why is everybody saying the offset is off?...what do you see that makes you think that?

+1. Drop the front a bit, however the rear looks OK. I was surprised it didn't look as bad as I thought it would be. I think 19 or 20 is the way to go.
Edit that: after looking at all of the pics I think you should drop all of them

Look at the third and fifth pictures and you can see that the wheels stick out past the fender a bit. That's caused by the offset being too low. The rear will be even worse once he puts wider tires on there. The side profile looks great though... but definitely needs a drop. Maybe some negative camber would help the offset issues, but I doubt it.

offset?
Whats the offset of the rims? they looks killer? just for my own car I want to know if with those rims, do they stick out a bit? if so does that cause them to throw dirt? water? so on on the car?
I guess I prefer rims that sink into the wheel well, but I like yours... So I am beside myself. ha
