Ideal OFFSET for 20"
20X8.5 ET35 245/30/20
20X10 ET42 275/30/20
I wanted to have matching tires front and back and found a deal.
Question can i lower my car on springs whichever lowers it the least? Especially in the front!
I swapped back springs ASAP as I was afraid of a tire blowout on the highway or cracking my fender over any bumps.
In my opinion, I don't think our car looks bad with stock springs. Not like my previous Lexus GS350 AWD. That thing looked like a 4x4 with larger wheels and I lowered that car immediately.
Looks better lowered, but I am certainly not upset with the stock spring stance.
F : 8.5 x 20 et 44
F : 9 X 20 et 32
R : 10 x 20 et 45

So I never ended up getting those wheels at the time, but now I am def getting the Stance SF01 in brush bronze.
Im looking at going with 20x8.5 et 35 and 20x10 et ( 42 or 45 not sure) but I also decided to lower them on the H&R Springs
Biggest concerns are rubbing and sticking out, looking for flush as possible
Thinking about 245-30-20 and 275-30-20 , would the rear wheel be to much and better with 275-25-20?
Any comments on the setup and does anyone have any insight on how the H&R's are? Rough ride??
Rear (stock diameter is 25.2" - try to stay within 1"):
285/30-20 (26.7"-26.8") will definetely NOT fit.
275/30-20 (26.5") does fit E sedans, but E coupes have less room, so it may or may not fit. But I would not go more than 1" over stock diameter, hence I chose 265/30-20 (26.3").
Old thread... but where does the interference start for large diameter rear tires? The inner fender liner?

I'm new to this group and just picked up a 2015 E550 convt. A friend of mine has a set of 20 in AMG wheels that came from a benz CLS.
The sizes are: 9.5Jx 20H2 ET38 & 8.5Jx20H2 ET38
will these fit and if so, what sizes tires can I put on them to fill the wheel wells without rubbing
