I was hoping to fit some 20x8.5 20x10 wheels on my car with maybe fitting a 255/30/20 continetal on the back. Do you guys think it can happen? has anyone gotten a 20x10 on the rear at all?

a 20x10 will fit with a custom offset but not with a 285 in the rear, sorry bro but that's not gonna happend. A 255 in the rear should fit if you do a search you'll find your answer it's been done..goodluck

I was actually looking into this when I purchased my rims. I was told that 19'' rims would fit right and have no issues, but 20'' rims would be somewhat difficult ( I wanted the same size all around so I could rotate my tires).

I settled with the 19's, but if you get this done post some pics and results, I'd love to see how it turns out.

I doubt a 285 will fit too. I'm leaning torwards a 255/30/20 rear and a 235/35/20 in the front for the 20x8.5. I'm going to find out the offsets today to see what you guys think.

ok the wheels are 20x8.5 +38 and 20x10 +42, is this possible with a 255/30/20 rear and maybe a 235/30/20 front tire or are these offsets too aggressive in 20inch for this car?

is your car lowered also? how low...H&R, EIBACH, INTRAX ect..., #1 pads all around or a different pad combo? Please advise. Any rubbing?

I'm planning on 20x8.5 ans 20x10
with the same tire combo 225/30/20 and 255/30/20
and with H&R and #1 pads all around
SO it should work..I hope, please advise. Thank you.

19x8.5 19x10
235/35/19 and 265/30/19

DPE RO7 Variant S FulL Polished ( sold )
Concept Neeper Moxy Black Chrome lip ( sold this weekend )

Car is slammed on Barabus Sport Springs 1 coil cut with Koni's

I will be moving up to 20's in the near future 20x8.5 and 20x10 225/30 and 255/30 and I will be raising my car to H&R's with #1 pads all around...I hope it doesn't rub and if it does a little I don't mind because I'm rubbing right now a little cuz I'm so low.

not to clown or anything, but your tech at your dealer is smoking crack. no way is a 285/30/20 rim/tire set up going to fit on our w208 clk's without making the car a widebody.

255/30/20 is the correct size for the rear if you want to run 20's.

I am going to run 225/30/20 and 255/30/20...re-read my post.

It should work with the H&R Springs that will actually lift my car up about an inch...right?

I quoted mguerrero's post (it's the second post on this thread.....scroll up to read it), about the 285/30/20 tire size.

plz re-read my post.
