20" Vossen CV3 on non AMG 204?

Have fallen in love with the Vossen CV3 and I am about to pull the trigger on a 8.5x20 ET44 / 10x20 ET55 setup

Question is, will these fit on my "stock" W204 without rubbing issues?
What tire size should I use?

Car is lowered with H&R springs but I am considering the Megan coilover kit to get the adjustment possibilities.

You will be fine with that set up, the only problem isyour tire choice for the back, only one company makes the 275/25/20 that youneed and that's nitto INVO. They are not cheap at all. I had the CV2 in 20’s now Ihave the CV3 in 19’s Crapy Miami, FL roads.

Ive looked into that, over here I can find Dunlop SP Sport Maxx in 275/25/20, but i dont know, I really cannot decide on 19 or 20.s now, the advantage with 19 is that I get a whole lot more different tires to chose from, but on the other hand the 20.s stands out more from the crowd.

I run 19x8.5+48 (225/35/19) and 19x9.5+48 (245/35/19) w/ H&R Super Sport.

IMHO 20's with ...25/20 tires is gonna looks really weird. really skinny tires.

Good luck tho



PS those are not Vossen's

Well that is pretty much inevetable, with larger alloys come smaller rubber if you want to stay close to stock circumference.

I have checked the dimensions again and when using 225/30x20 and 265/25x20 the tires front and rear are only 1% larger than stock 225/40x18

In these dimensions Hankook K107 S1 Evo are available at a much better price than Nittos or Dunlop

Took the plunge and ordered 20", will arrive in week 24 according to the reseller.

Also ordered the Hankook tires and a BC coilover kit.
