2012 CLS550 4Matic Rims upgrade and Offset issue.

Hi,

I am changin my stock wheels on the 2012 CLS550 4Matic.
I plan to buy 20x9 +38OT and 20x10 +42OT. The seller claim they would fit perfectly and 255-35-20F and 285-30-20R would be great fitment as well.

I am really not good with all those stuff. Can you folks confirm his statement. Will a +38 front offset look good?

Thank you guys.

Here's what I can tell you...I have the following (I also have a CLS 4matic) and they fit with no problems. That being said, I think I'd go with less positive offset so the wheels don't tuck quite so much (see graphic below). The higher the + offset (moves the face closer to the street) the more the wheels tuck. But it's more of a personal preference.

Front:
20x9 25mm Offset - 245/35

Rear:
20x10 35mm Offset - 285/30

You are looking at 13mm more offset in the front and 7mm more in the rear, so I don't think you'll have any fitment issues.




Hope that helps.

Sparacing, Thank you for the reply.
One more question to you if you do not mind. Did you have any issue with the 4matic system due to the upgrade ?
