ANOTHER Wheel Question!
I've looked around and can't seam to find a definitive answer to my question
I was recently quoted on a set of wheel with the below specs for my 03' CL55 and i want to know if this sounds right, i'm going for a fitment that is flush with the top of the fenders without needing spacers and i plan on lowering but i'm not worried about a little rubbing hear and there during everyday driving
Front - 20x9 +20 Offset, 245/35 Tires (Hankook Ventus V12)
Rear - 20x10.5 +20 Offset, 285/30 Tires (Hankook Ventus V12)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

Offset wayyyyy to low. I once did 25+ cls fitment. They stuck out 1/2 inch. For flush id probably consider 32et - 38. The lower to 32 the more aggressive and more rub. Hope this helps.

That does look amazing!
I feel like those front tires are stretched with tiny sidewalls, it looks like it's sitting on the wheels up front haha!

Sounds like your offset is too low. This is why it's very important to run the correct offsets. The only wy to make the wheel tuck in and still rub are 255's in the rear.

You need to speak english man. You are making absolutely no sense. If you have a 285 on a 10.5" wide rear and the tires are past the wheel, your rim or wheel is not 10.5" wide. You probably have a 9" wide rear wheel. I run 305's on a 10.5 and the tires don't stick out past the wheel. Something doesn't add up.

It won't matter what my offsets are due to mine being a CL65 which has completely different offsets than the CL 500/55/600's.
My wheel size are 20x9 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear. The car is lowered 2" in those pictures via lowering module. That's my driving height as well.

You don't have the tires you posted because they don't come in the size you said you have. Yes my fenders are flush and no I don't have any rubbing issues.
