I think 20"s are perfect in the front but they always seem a tad too small in the rear

You won't be able to find a tire size to match the OD of the front tire to the rear causing your ABS light to come on possibly. That's due to the front tires rotating faster than the rears.

19" front and 20' in the back



so you can do 20" front and 21" rear without any issues at all

That's a very bold statement. There are no tires for a 21" wheel that will match the stock OD of 26.5". Most of them are taller by an inch and that will cause problems for the ABS computer.

As long as both front and back wheels are rolling at the same speed it won't matter what size he has.

Maybe just doing 20+20 with a straighter tire wall in the back would be a better idea?

Whenever i see a W215 with 20" wheels the walls are tucked in, i'd like to see one with a more straight wall

wow i cant believe u are tucking 10.5's like that it just looks like the rear has no room at all especially with the shock being so wide

P.S. did you end up putting bigger spacers in the front?

Hey,

I have the spacers, I just haven't had time to put them on yet. Will do soon!
