Cool Any photos of cars w/20" wheels, not lowered?

Do 20" wheels with 245/30-20 tires look okay on the CLS55 if you don't lower it? Anybody have any links or pics of cars with this setup? I'd like to get 20s but don't want to lower it right now and just concerned it may look too thin of tire with a big gap in the wheel well.

thanks.

Before I lowered it



I have not taken pictures after I got it lowered, but it definitely looks better with a 1 finger gap

... Looks pretty sweet. Thanks for the pics. I guess I'm going 20s... Radenergies look pretty good in that combo.

Thanks guys. I waited about 8 months before lowering it. It looked good before (and I definitely had no complaints), but a slight drop just gave it a better stance.

They did a great job!! You should post a pic of your ride here. I went with only a finger gap, but your aggressive drop looks good.

I went with a 255-30-20 and still had to lower it at the same time.

Hi, when you had the 20s on there w/o being lowered, what size tires did you have and did you have any problem with rubbing with 4 people or when turning? Thanks.

255/35/20 in the front and 285/30/20 in the rear. Absolutely no rub before and after (with 1 finger gap). When it was below 1 finger, i had some rubbing issues in the front.
