better off going with 18's or 19's if you're not willing to drop it, if u're set with 20s then you have to drop or it will just look weird. I have 20's with eibachs & bilstens, looks ok.

no problems with rubbing, of course its not as smooth as stock, but really isnt as bad as i thought it would be, turning radius is shorten which is a negative but its more for show you know ... #1 pads in the front, 4's in the back, but i have subs in the trunk also so if you dont then probably would go to #3s.

yo jimmy i like your ride but something looks off with your backend, looks lower then the front, might want to go up a bit in the back, or maybe i'm wrong ...

buy it from the dealership, its cheap like $10 or something, if u're gonna get #1 you have to ask for e class #1 pads as clk pads only go down to #2.
