Why side heel size and off sets such a confusing mystery
It would be great if there was a thread that just said, here is a picture of my 2007 cls550 with 20 x10.5 rear and 20x9 front. The offsets are 35 and 38
This is what it looks like. Lol
I'm killing myself trying to find the wheel I like, then trying to figure out if the offsets we be out near the fender which is the look I want..

CLS500/550 and CLS55/63 use same offsets . Although CLS55/63 is a little lowered from the factory .
If you like your wheels flush with the fender then- https://mbworld.org/forums/5473381-post4.html

Sorry Fellas Not sure on Offset i Bought these back in 2009 from a good rim shop. They told me it would fit so i wrote the check. lol
No its not lowered i have the amg sport package in the car so it has the air ride with 3 modes and also you can control it yourself. I just leave it on regular mode and the car adjust itself very nicely to the rims so my car always sit nice.
Ya expensive rims but they are Asanti's i guess pay extra for the brand just like we do with our cars.
These Rims are well worth it though never bent or had any problem with it "knock on wood" been thru alot of pot holes these past 4 years. I Remember my GF took the car and she drove on it with a flat for a bit and rims didnt have anything on them.
The Color is Iridium grey Metallic

Cjackermann, There is a post in the classifieds for a badass set of Iforged in 20x8.5 and 20x10.5. This would let you run 245/35/20 in front and 295/30/20 in back. Not running a 25 profile in back is a good thing. The rims are et32 and et30 so a 10mm spacer all around would be perfect as long as you buy a good quality such as H&R. You would need longer lugs and ball or concave lugs..whatever fits Iforged.
If you ever had to sell these your market would include CLS, SL and E series. True forged rims and Iforged quality hold their value.

spacers
I like the wheel, be nice if they were painted to match the car but i am hesitant about spacers. to me that implies they were not "made" for my car. buying something new but having to space it to fit does not sit right with me.
but they are beautiful

I hear you. I went through the same thing. As long as you stay hubcentric then you don't have to worry about spacer vibrations with quality wheels. Be careful though on spacer sizes though that lose the hubcentric lip. Some have no problems. Others have vibrations for life.
Just thought to throw this out to you because they fit multiple models, not so common to get a 8.5 front that allows a 35 front profile, and you probably would equal your expense on resell.
