Tire size

What size tires do you run on your CL. Is the 500/600 any different setup than the 55AMG?
I have 255/35/20 all around, but would like some more width in the rear. Buyin tires soon so would like to know what ya think? My rims have about a 2" polished deep dish lip. Front and rear are the same (no staggered setup). Bought the car a year or so ago and have thought about changing these rims only for the reason that I've heard the staggered setup effects handling which makes sense since that's the way they come factory. Also for the tiny sidewall that allows me to get a real "feel" for the every piece of the road. Wondered if the 19" would really be any better.

Please let me know your thoughts...thanks for the insight.

Car is large! like the 20's, just wasn't sure about a good setup and want wider rubber on the rear.

Thanks for your insight. Should look much more aggressive with 285's...
