a car that can't do the throttle reset.
20's work... but have to be conservative with widths.

Im looking at buying a set of 20in LOWENHART LD5's 20/8.5 and running them with a set of 225/35/20 tires. Opinions anyone? Should I stay away from 20's or? I dont want to have alot of issues.

I'm guessing you will still have issues but maybe not as bad now since that new 225/35-20 tire is available. I personally wouldn't put 20's if I was in your shoes.

stay away from 20's.

I'd get 19's if i were you. the 19's could cause problems already for the W202 as the wheel well is not as deep as the W203.

4 wheeled car.
ok everybody put down the crack pipes... 20's ? LOL.

18's is good. 19" you'll need to roll fenders for sure, they'll weigh more..but why not. I'm thinking of getting rid of the 18" for 19"s on the W202, but certainly not 20's.

AMG 202's come with rolled fenders. 19's are no problem.

Doc is right. We made two W202. My C43 with 18's and Brabus springs and a C230 K station with 19's and Brabus springs. We had to roll the fenders on the C230 k. But check out the pics in my sig.
