2010 Mercedes Benz C300 sport
Newbie here

Hey guys, I’m new to the group just wanted to say hey to everyone and start with my first noob question. lol I’ve recently purchased my first Mercedes and I love the car. It’s a 2010 Mercedes C300 sport. The only thing I’ve done to it so far is tint the windows(2.5%). I’ve looked through several threads and can’t find the answers I’m looking for because most of the pics in the threads have expired. lol. I’m looking to put some rims and tires on my car and I’m hoping I can get some help on offset and tire size. I want to put some black 20”s on my car with a respectable lip. I don’t care for rims without a lip (just my personal preference). I want to put 20”s on my car without them poking out, I’d prefer to keep it flush with the body. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First of all, congratulation.
Secondly 20" is just too big for the car. I'll say 19" max with around 50 offset for rear, 45 for front.
Having said that, due to high offset, you won't be able to get much lip unless rims are convexed.
