20 inch rims question

hi all cls fanatics,

i own a cls500 and currently have the standard 18 inch rims under my car.
now i have found some cool rims from mec design 20 inch.

the front will be 245/30 and rear will be 285/25 with spacers front and rear

can u owners off 20inch cls rides tell me how this will decrease my comfort for riding my cls or is it not so bad at all.

hope u can tell me something about this.

greetings from the netherlands

You will feel every single bump in the road. Be careful of potholes. Take it easy over speed bumps. Tires will probably be louder and last less time than the stocks.

if u need spacers for the rear and fronts the wheels r not the correct Offset.....u should only need spacers in the front if u r trying to fit a big brake kit.....and for 20 s correct tire size for CLS is 255 fr and 305 rear the sizes u r going with come on 19 inch AMG s factory..
