Way too big - 20 inch Vossen VFS-4 Hybrid Forged Wheels
Just bought one set of wheels + tires, but found out they way too big... 20 inch looks very nice, but front wheels poke out 40 mm, back wheels 50 mm. there is still around 10 mm gap between front wheel and control arm.
my conclusion, if the wheels only poke out 20 mm, it should be perfectly fine, and will not scratch the fender, but anything over 20 mm, should be cautious. next round experiment, looking for 19 OEM AMG wheels, have to sell this set.
those info are your references, hope it can help. any comment?

Spec for 20" Vossen on w205 should be as follows:
20x8.5 +35 Front / 20x10 +48 Rear
IF you are lowered like me, I recommend going 255 rears to prevent rubbing. I also tried a 245F and 275 rear combo and I rubbed in the rear.
The problem with your setup is that your offset is really aggressive, not just the tire width
225/35/20 and 255/30/20
20x8.5 +35 Front / 20x10 +48 Rear

Agree, I just sold the wheels and tires. Do you need spacers for your current rims?

Yup those offsets are way off, Angelo has the correct offsets and they fit perfectly
