9.5" front wheels on CL63 w216, what offset?

I have seen a few of the aggressive wheel setups out there run 9.5" on the front. What offset will work to run 9.5" wheels on the fronts?

Also, what's the max tire size when running 9.5" on the fronts at the correct offset?

Car will not be lowered and will be running 20" wheels.

Thx

45mm and 275/30/20, but you may be able to run 275/35/20, which would be preferable.

Hey Nick, I noticed you have a w220 S-class (similar to W215.)

What about the W221/w216 chassis newer body cars. Wil 20x9.5 @ 43 mm fit?

Thanks

43mm ET should be OK. I found it gets rather marginal at 40mm, and restricts what brands of tire you can use.


I think the W216/221 accepts larger diameter wheels than the earlier cars, but I'm not 100% sure.
