Wheels | 19/20 set up or 20/21 set up?

Anybody ever seen someone do a 19/20 or a 20/21 setup on a CLS63?

I have a 2012 CLS63 (not 4matic) so I am thinking this is possible?

I have done the math on the tire sizes and think I can do pretty close to stock:

19/20

Front:
255
35
19

Rear:
285
30
20



Seems simple enough, but the guys at my tire shop did not like the idea.

What do you think?!?!??!

I'm thinking of running the same setup I'm just not sure which wheel I'm going to do with.

What do you think?




or this design





I spoke with the company and they can make the wheels in 19x9.5 and 20x11 for me I'm just not sure which design to pick.

what do you think?

Certainly possible and 20" up front would be better than the 21" as there are some clearance issues you have to deal with.

If you're still looking for a setup please let us know and we can connect you with a terrific set of wheels.

I am rocking 19s in front and 20s in back without any issues. I went through 3 front wheels in less than two months when I had 20s. The car handles much better with the stock tire size on the front.
