New 20" HRE Wheels.

I just received my new HRE M40 wheels from the US.
20 x 8.5 front with Pirelli P Zero 245/30/20
20 x 9.5 rear with Pirelli P Zero 285/25/20

I would like to thank Andre from Wheels Boutique in Florida for taking the time to explain everything and helping me with my choice. Also for arranging fast shipping to Australia. I cannot speak highly enough of them.
H & R coilovers are being installed in a couple of days, so I can lower it as it's sitting a little high.
I know a lot of people don't like 20's on C63's and think they look to big but personally I felt 19's were not a big enough difference from stock.

They look great.You should have gone 35F and 30R better so u don't bend the wheels if you hit a pothole or something.

Can't run a higher profile as they wouldn't fit and end up scraping

You should have ordered the 3pcs version with a lip if you like 20inch wheels, the monoblock looks huge on our cars. Nonetheless, they are gorgeous wheels... just watch out for potholes.

Look awesome Paul. P/M 40 is my favorite wheel of all time. They fit the car very well.

Nice! I have the H&R coilovers, and my wheels are going to be the same specs. Going to run a 275/25/20 in the rear. I think the 285 will rub.

I agree, looking at a carlsson style lip or the chrometec lip but worried I might tear it off when car is lowered.

I'm going to lower it about an inch and see how it goes. If the 285's rub I will shave off 2-3mm off the inside hub of rear wheel.
What wheels have you ordered?

I can barely stand 19s....20s have to be painful and horribly performing.

Have you any idea if H&R coilovers are the same height as standard springs when at there highest adjustment?
How low have you wound yours down?

I installed my coilovers with the preset adjustment. Fender is just about at the tires. I have another 1" I can go with adjustments. Once i get the wheels on, Ill play with adjustments if needed.

Here is how my car sat after install. This is with the coilovers out of the box with no adjustments.

You won't scrape rip off the lip if you install it. I have KWV3s, 20" Venaci/Work wheels, and the lip stays on fine. You will scrape more though. So you should be careful going up ramps and stuff. I scraped the exhaust going up those really steep driveways. But the fenders cover a little bit of the tires, I could raise it up more but I'm happy with the way it is right now.

Do you have any rubbing issues at all? Did you need to roll your fenders by any chance?

Just had the coilovers installed. The ride is better than standard suspension even with the 20's
20mm drop on front with no rubbing issues whatsoever.
10mm drop on rear but going to drop it another 10mm, total of 20mm.
No rubbing at moment but think I will need to shave a little off the stone guards on rear bumper when I lower it more.
