Do 20" rims fit on a c32 AMG
I came a across a set of rims 20x8.5 fronts and 20x10 rears for an amazing deal. But not sure if they will fit my 2002 C32 AMG (all stock, but will be getting some coilovers soon).

Any inout greatly appreciated,
Thanx

Um.....wouldn't you LOSE performance putting 20's on a C32???

I should think optimum performance would call for 18's........

Just my $0.02

I wouldn't go for 20", 19" is more than enough for W203. And especially performance wise i suggest you don't go more than 19". Good luck anyways.

I have less concern on performance degradation for larger rims as there is always a trade-off between look and performance. What I cannot stand is the less the rubber, the more I feel I am riding solely on the rims and have nothing to rub on! Look at the Formula 1 car wheels and see how much in proportion of rubber and rims you will know what I mean. Having said that, 20" is very tempting and a pain to bear for the best look.

that's because F1 cars are restricted to 15" wheels

If you like the SUV look then you'll love 20's. Dubs are too much wheel for the W203. Not worth the trouble making them fit IMO.

Agreed, and the thing is, even that look (big rims on an SUV) is getting extremely played out.

If anything, I can't imagine the ride comfort (or lack thereof) riding on 20" rims....

I have the stock 17s with the stock sports suspension, and I can feel every bump on the damn road......

I think it's time for new tires....

20s are a bit oversized on the 203s imo.

Don't do it. Stick with 18" or 19" wheels.
