Will 20's Fit ? 2008 C300 W204

Alright, I need some help here everyone. I have a 2008 C300 Sport. All stock not lowered a bit. I am debating on 20's or 19's for the car. After reading up a bit I see people are running both. However some with 20's are rubbing in the rear. I want to know if anyone has a W204 with 20's not lowered and has had NO issues with rubbing. Not even looking to destroy my fenders like I did on my Jaguar. If you do have 20's and no rubbing please elt me know what fittment you wnet with both wheels and tires please. i would rely on my wheel and tire guy but again he was the one who said my jaguar wouldnt rub. It did more than rub it destroyed me fenders big time. Thank you everyone!

I run:

Front 20x8.5" 42 ET 225/35-20

Rear 20x10" 54 ET 255/30-20

No rubbing. I will be trying out 285/25-20 in the rear.

I would love to see some pics of your car and how it sits. Is your car lowered? When you hit dipps does it rub at all? I really appriciate your time and info.

I have 20x8.5 all around and running 225/30/20 tires. My car is stock height and I live in NY where I'm sure my roads are way worse then urs and I have NO rubbing issues at all. U can see pics of my car in the sticky pic thread I only posted maybe 2 weeks ago so I should be near the last pages.

Hope that helps.

Study up on wheels. The question is not if the diameter of a wheel will fit (assuming tire diameter stays the same).

Wheel fitment issues are that of width, offset, bolt pattern and hub diameter.

Well if ur shop needs u to tell them the hub diameter and a bolt pattern then I suggest going somewhere else and finding a professional. I told my guy I wanted 20x8.5 that would fit a 2008 c300 4-matic, and he opened his book and showed me. Simple as that. THEY are the professionals, no reason why I should have to explain every detail as simple as what stupid bolt pattern is on my car. I don't order an exhaust and tell them what size clamps and where the pipe has to bend in order to fit. It's something they should know...
