Talking Getting 20in S65 wheels on C43..
I think this setup looks pretty good... heres a pic to share with you guys... the front is going to give me some trouble... but i like the look... the rear actually tucks with my H&R springs with no rubbing!!

Looks really nice, but if the look is not worth the trouble that your going to encounter I would refrain from the setup.

Looks cool! but aren't the 65 wheels powder coated gun metal color? You should get them painted/powder coated

Yeah i was at bellmore with my car and a silver CLS63.... Small world...
THe ride is going to be fine... i have the same height tire on my C now... actually im running a lower narrower tire... So my ride might improve a little.. lol...

The Front 8.5's are the wrong offset and they hit the top of the control arms.... When i have more time i'll get them on there... =)
