285-30-20 Rears??
In some instance I have seen some people use 285-30-20 for the W219 CLS55 , with the fronts being 255-30-20... which makes the rears larger in diameter
than the stock .. the " correct " rear should be 285-25-20 or 295-25-20.. anyone using the 30 side wall rears in 20 ? And would that bring it more toward the 19 comfort level .. I have never driven on a 25 side wall , I have never used anything over 19' wheels , and just as other people I want the looks of the 20" but not at the expense of comfort and safety for the wheels .

so I just added to my stable a W219 CLS55 Renntech Stage 5 , 20s Renntech Multi piece with Renntech's favorite tires Nitto , but the fronts are 255-35-20
and the rears are 285-30-20 .. these tires sizes are a full inch larger than the stock 19 tires in diameter .. to my knowledge that will throw off the speedo .. why Renntech did that ? or it may have been the previous owner ? I do remember reading some of the SL guys, and W211 AMG guys doing that ( raising the aspect ratio ) for extra comfort....If anyone has heard of this would you clue me in , thanks, Max
