Wheels are on!
Wheels are on!
First of all I have to say, Peter Lee from Wheel Experts is the man. He was able to shoehorn 305 25 20's on the back of the car. The rear wheels are 20 x 11's with 4 inch lips. Fronts are 20 x 8.5's with 245 30 20's. Brabus lowering module is installed, I'm still waiting for the body colored side markers and a few other items.
Here is the thread you're probably referring to. Its a great write up! You may also want to consider having it lowered by Steve from MBenzNL.

Any reason why you went down 1 size to 245 width in the front? (stock is 255 width). The 255/30-20 size is available.
A lot of people have done 305/25-20 on the rears on 20x11 (and even 11.5's). You could also have done 20x9.5 in the front.

Looks awesome!!! Is that a brushed aluminum face or silver?
Wow man that looks really hot!
You experience any rubbing? I just told a guy that putting 9.5F/10.5R / 20 will 70% chance give him rubbing with the incorrect sized tires! :o
I'll have to relay him this thread and mention that there's already a CLS55 running around with 8.5F / 11R / 20 without rubbing.
But I disgress, your car looks fantastic, and must be a dream to look at!
