NEw Owner/20 inch wheels still on stock suspension?
New owner here. Traded my 2006 300C SRT8 for CLS 550 and don regret it much. However, I am curious to know if there are any people here that have 20 inch wheels that are still on stock suspension. I really don't want to lwer my car any lower than the little suspension button can go. Any help in this matter would be appreciated. I would love to see pictures!

20" Asanti's custom fit for the wheel wells. Stock suspension. No rubbing. Not even close. I do keep the car in Sport mode 2 (2" high Airmatic raise) so that may help a bit with the clearance. 
Frankly I wouldn't get them if I had to change the suspension since I believe it cancels out chunks of the Benz warranty once modifications are made to the car.

Tires = Hankook VENTUS V12
Rear = 305/25ZR20 $290.00/ea
Front = 255/30ZR20 92Y $225.00/ea
Discount Tire prices. Go to website, search Hankook and scroll down to comments. They are incredible tires for the money. Bad *** Z's but quiet as a church mouse on the road.

Here's my car sitting on 20inch Roderick Ruleta wheels. Stock suspension, haven't had a rub yet, in any mode. Offset is the key here.
