20x11 options for offset and tire?
Hello gents,
I am in the process of ordering new wheels for my CLS. I am looking between a few 3pc forged companies (HRE, 360 forged, etc). I am looking for a very aggressive fitment on the car. Here is what I have come up with so far
20 x 9 et 20 ish 255.30.20 tire
20x11 et low 20s or teens 305.25.20
Does anyone have good pictures of something close to this set up? I want to see how flush the front is and rears? I plan on lowering the car with my Renntech V3 mod. Any suggestions or links would help. The search function on this site is not helpful. Google comes back with threads on other Mercs nothing to specific to the W219 CLS63. Thanks!

20x9 +15 with a 255 width tire will be flush in the front. When I say flush, you will have 1mm or less to spare. I am running an effective offset of +15 with a 255 on a 20x9.
I am running a 20x10.5 +24 with a 305 width tire in the rear and it looks like I could go another 3mm MAXIMUM without rubbing. This implies that if you are running a 20x11, you would not be able to go below +20 offset with a 305 tire.
I have a ELM v2, and I typically roll around very low, as in the lowest point that is functionally possible without rubbing; have not had any issues with my set-up yet and I am on crap Toronto roads.
I can take pics for you, but will not be until after April 13 when my wheels go back on after winter.

Here's something we've done earlier with both 21x10.5 and 20x11. With 20's we can do a 20x9 and 20x11 set of any of our wheels. Depending on whether you need for example more concavity, extended lip or a combination of both, we will create a perfect configuration for you. We make completely custom wheel setups with your requests in mind with any of our designs. Let me know if we can help you out!

thanks for the pictures and info. I went with a set that placed the order. I'll post pics once installed.
I have had step lip on my past wheels (BBS LM's) over it really. nothing beats a fat standard lip front and rear. stay tunned!

Fronts are 20x9....
Rears are 20x11....
Not too sure of the offset.....VIP Modular custom made the wheels to fit.....I think the offset is somewhere around +24-+28......
No rubbing issues at all.....
Tires are 255/30/20 for front.
Rears are 305/25/20
I could have gotten the non step lip.....but opted for the step lips.

here are the wheels on a CTS-V:
Just from looking at the ones on the CTS-V, I can tell that he is running a higher offset than me
