Will 20's fit ???

I have a 99 CLK 320. Will a 20 inch rim thats 8.5 with a 35mm offset fit my car? If so what size tires if Im going to lower my car? Also Ive heard I need to make other mods to make the 20's work. What "mods" do I need to make.

~Thanks

They will fit, no mods necessary as long as you get the right size...

8.5" with 35mm offset will be fine. You should be able to lower it no problem as well. Tires should be no wider than 235 up front and 265 out back with a 30% profile. You won't have any problems with that setup, and you can even lower it some. Lowering it more than an inch or so is where you may run into problems with your front wheels.

Depending on how you do it, you might want to find a good shop that has lowered Benzo's before, because in order to get a good fit( wheels, lowering, alignment), they will have to go under it a couple of times to make the adjustments. Many here have gone with the HR cupkit and koni shocks. I went with Eibach spring kit and Koni shocks. Do a search on lowering 320 and you will find a crap load of stuff. Oh ya, be prepared to pay some good money to put a camber adjustment kit on your rear and possible front or you will chew through tires on a regular bases.
