20in wheels on c43

I know there are a lot of threads about wheel fitment so please do not redirect me to those, i have read them all.
i am wondering if anyone has fit a 20x9 on the front. everyone i see with 20s have a 8.5 in front with about a 30 offset. All the wheels i like do not come in 20x8.5 and i do not want to spend crazy money on custom 3 piece wheels.
If anyone has done 20x9 in the front what offset and can you please post pictures.

thank you in advance!

if the car is dumped and you stretch tires, fairly severely, sure.

if your okay with being super careful driving, and no more hard spirited drives, then you should be able to achieve that with more negative camber and stretch tires. Anything is possible but there will be sacrifices.

i know anything is possible with camber and extremely stretched tires. I i hoping someone had done it and has pics and offsets of what it took to get it done. i do not want a ton of neg camber and stretched tires i like to drive my car but also think 20s look the best. was hoping for the best of both worlds.

There was one member who put 20x9 fronts. It should be on the wheel fitment thread i just can’t remember if it was back when w205 sub forum were all combined. But, the guy never posted his offsets and the pics didn’t show a lot to see if the poke was bad or not.
Anyways, are you staying stock height, if not, do you plan on installing fixed springs or height adjustable? Also, do you have a pic of the wheels you like, and what price range are you looking at spending?

With the suspension it's already bad enough on 19s. I can't see why anyone would want to spend the money for 20s on this car, but I hope you find some pictures.
