19" front, 20" rear??
I just picked up a black CLK63 Cab, and was searching around for some wheels that would look good, however wouldn't hurt my ride as I must drive clients around. I have heard that 20's are too rough of a ride, but am worried that 19's are too small.
Any thoughts?
I figured that 19's up front would allow a softer ride, but the 20" in the rear would give me the look that I'm looking for. I hope someone might have done this setup already and has a photo. I'm curious to see if you can see a big difference in the size difference front to rear.
Thank you

Dunno about the new ones. I have a w208 w/ 19's. I'd love to go w/ a 19 front 20 rear setup. I think it would be just right.

Keep
the 19's all around.The difference in rim diameter and sidewall height would look awkward.Mercedes in europe offers the 20's as an option but from what I have heard will not do it here for concerns of ride quality and issues of road damage on our road system.Your customers will also be happier in the back seat not having their teeth chatter

Thank you for the advice, this is basically my train of thought as well. Obviously since my clients pay my bills I must keep them in mine.
However, I can help being a little selfish and were hoping some would either have pictures, or have done this setup in the past.
19" i guess will have to be it.
Thank you
