Guys I need help, I am thinking about getting 20's on my coupe but i am worried that the 20's will rub. I live in NY and I go up and down hills all day and hit pot holes. Do you think the 20's will fit? And is there a major differance between getting 19's and 20's? I am new at this and i need my mercedes brothers to help me out here!
thanks guys

I have the same problems with potholes etc. My serious suggestion is stick to 19 inch. You save a lot of headache.

was anyone with 19" dissapointed with the look? does it look small on the car for aftermarket rims ?

You will have to roll very low profile tires. I have 20's on my 97 E320 but i have always had lowered cars and am very aware of potholes and teh teh likes. You sound like its a jungle out there on yer commutes! I would stick to 19s as others have said also.
Good Luck & post pics once you decide & buy !!

20's look the best on this car but if you have potholes that you can sit in then you probably want to stick with 19's. But keep in mind a 19 inch wheel with a lip will look like an 18 inch wheel and look small so I would stick to a full face wheel aka monoblock style.

Hi
I have 20s on my 2011 e350 Cabriolet and have had no problems with them.
I will post photos if you like.
The car hasn't been lowered and it looks like it has.

We are located in NY, if you want to go 20" I would strongly recommend a forged wheel. It will be alot stronger and stand up to the potholes better.
20's are certainly do-able with the right tire spec and a strong wheel.
Got a sick deal on some 20" Forged 3pc Vossens right now if your interested.

Yes 20s will fit fine as we have E 350s coupes with Vossen wheels installed with no issues. One thing to remember too is 20" tires are cheaper than 19" tires a lot of times.Originally Posted by ozpark17

If you already know you have bad roads, please stay away from the 20"s, also another consideration, are you the only driver? My wife recently took my E550 for the weekend and it was not good.....lets just say 1 wheel replaced, 1 repaired & all 4 painted.....its the wife so no biggie she the BOSS.....lol....but seriously if other people drive your car sometimes they are not as, for lack of a better word instintful about how it drives and how to drive it. If that makes any sense

How much do 20's effect the ride quality and handling vs. the stock 18" amgs on this car assuming i'm driving on good roads. I'm thinking of going 20" but still juggling between 19". I've heard the bigger wheels should make handling better in this car.
