You have to roll out your fenders, it depends on how low you drop the car. Youll get A LOT of rubbing, but if you want the look go for it. Also the ride might be a little harsh, i have 19's. The look huge (AMG CL rims) when spinning, people ask me if they are 20's. But ask Dronollis about this info, hes the only one on the forum that has or had 20's on his CLK, now that he sold it.

Yes 100% you need to roll the fender and also it depend on how low you wanted to drop it...if it just changing the H&R springs you dont need to roll the fenders. but if you cut it 1 coil or more you need to roll it more or custom flare fender...
Get the exactly offset for CLK and you will save the fenders...trust me It need to do alots of works...but good luck dude..

I need your help with some questions regarding the H&R CUP KIT and running 20x8.5 and 20x10 with 225/30/20 and 255/30/20.
All of my fenders are already pulled and rolled to the max because my car is super slammed right now with cut Brabus springs and 19's but I wanted to raise it up to fit the 20's. Thanks.

you dont need to roll out your fenders if you are going with 20 x 8.5's, i have 20's and lowered with eibachs, no rubbing at all. Unless you put 255 tires in the back then you wont have any issues. Really all depends on the setup.

How about with a 20x10 on the back with 255/30/20 with a cup kit set up? Do you think the 255/30 will stretch enough to fit with no problems or should I go extreme and stretch a 245/30 or 245/35 on a 20x10 wheel?

there was another guy at the shop with the cup kit and attempting 20x10 with 245 and they couldnt do it, plus you are gonna have a hell of a ride, i suggest 19's with a good lip and some big tires, i have 20's with 225 which barely fit and its lowered. Cup kit really drops the car and you can only roll the fenders out so much. If you take it to a good shop, slip them some extra dollars and let them play around with it to see what works, like i said 19's will give you a lot less problems if you want the huge tires in the back.

You think even if I go with the biggest spring pads and an extra pad on the bottom of the springs?

I'm going to install this cup kit with the #5 pad up front and #4 in back with #2 pads all around the bottoms of the springs with a 225/30 up front and a 245/30/20 stretched out to the max on the 20x10 and see what happens.

Did you order the AMG styling 4 rims in 20" staggered setup, with ET32 front and ET37 rear? Been looking at these wheels for a while, I really want these in 19" staggered setup but they are only available with the big 3,5" rear lip on the 20x10 wheel.

No...I ordered the Sevas S-55 in Black. This one has a 4" lip and comes in Black, Silver or Chrome and the best part is that the lip is chrome on all of them and not polished aluminum like I have had in the past with 2pcs wheels that you have to polish every week. The wheels are really nice in person...very sporty and not blingy. It resembles the Iforged classic or the HRE 547...it's split five spoke with rivets.
Here's the link, but they look much better in person:

But I would assume or guess a 5mm in the front and an 8mm on the rear.
I'll be posting pics first week of March.
