C218 20" fitment

What is the best way to get 20" wheels and get perfect flush fitment. I think im going to get hre flowform ff10s and i want a good tire but i dont want to order anything yet because obviously it is expensive and i dont want to make any mistakes, am i going to need spacers? is there certain tire and wheel specs i can go with to get perfect fitment? i also plan on lowering so i will also have to take that into account. and if someone could recommend whether to go with a lowering module or lowering links, that would also be helpful, i have the money for the module but is it very helpful if i cant really even use it on the go? thanks in advance i know theres a lot of questions and i just want the latest information even though there are some old forums already.

Sorry nobody answered. I would call who you're ordering the wheels from, they should be able to let you know what will fit. You have to consider offsets, clearing the caliper, etc. I have to module and it was really easy to use. Plug it into the OBD port and just set the car to the height you want. After that, the new height becomes the normal height, so there is no need to constantly adjust it. After you set the height, you can just put the module away. Unless you want to adjust it again. Hope some of this helps.

Hi Beer_Bandit - May I ask if your car is RWD or AWD? And did you need to do any modifications to fit the wheels?

RWD. No mods, straight fit and zero rubbing.

Thanks, Is your car RWD or AWD? Mine is AWD and I suspect a different set-up from RWD.

Thanks! Your car looks great, but mine is AWD, so I'm sure it's a different set-up.

It's a big commitment for me to import the wheels I want from the US to Canada, so may I ask how you know for sure? Is your original setup the same (8.5X18-34.5 and 9.5X18-48)?
