Reply with your 20" offsets

Looking for the perfect W219 20" offsets. Post what you have if you are running 20's. Here is what I have received from others:

20x9 et21 255/30/20
20x11 et24 305/25/20
Sit flush to outside of fender

20x9 et32 255/30/20
20x11 et37 305/25/20
Fronts sit OEM to outside / Rears stick out about 1/4 from OEM but well tucked into fender

20x9 et20 255/30/20
20x11 et20 305/25/20
Flush to outside of fender although I don't know how the rears don't really stick out

Nothing with a et30's and up will fit. Don't waste your time... The question has been answered 100 times do a search.
Stick with your first choice. I really don't know what your tring to accomplish. 20-23 flush with body perfect at any height. , 25-27 stock 30 and up will rub inner quarters and front suspension and look restarted (way to far into the body).
This is not guess I have tried them all.

TBH its all to do with if/how low the car is...

The rear and the front camber in pretty heavy when you go low which will allow you to push the wheels out further...

This is the camber on mine


This is the tuck I get


This is what the average CLS is lowered to




I have to run 255/35 stretched on the rear to avoid any rubbing

CLSED550, Sending you a PM. I have a set of 20x9 et25 255/30/20 and 20x11 et35 305/25/20. H&R sells a 5 and 10mm spacer for the rear. I plan on leaving the front alone as et25.

What would you do? Would you spacer to an et30 or et25 in the rear if you were in my situation? Car is stock 07 CLS550, not lowered, yet.
