Need wheel and tire advice for 20' wheels

Hi,

I would like to know if these 20x9 et28 and 20x11 et37 wheels will fit and work on my cls55? If so, what tire set up should i use? Any spacers needed?
Need advice from wheel experts.

Thanks

You can still go more aggressive as a 11 can take a +30 easy with a 305..Some peoples flush is not a true flush ..

You might get on wot or turns..285 you can go with a 30 ..

Why drop down to a 285?? is that a 11 inch rim if so it will over stretch and look like doodoo,

I think 255/30/20 fronts and 305/25/20 rears would be idea on my next set of tires.

The car looks great! Congrats! What offsets did you end up settling on? Do you get any rubbing at all up front when turning lock to lock or over bumps? Any rubbing at all in the rear?

20x9 et28 and 20x11 et37 with 3mm spacers all around.
It will slightly rub when turned over bumps and driveways. I just remind myself to raise it when going over bumps or driveways.
