20" Rims Are Not Easy To Fit On A 300e
About 3 weeks ago i put a set of 20" inch lenso rims on my 300e. They are really beautiful but i had to raise the car so that the tyres (255/35/20) would not chuff on the wheel arches. This, to me at least, killed the look. Im the first in Kenya to have twenty inch rims on a saloon and im enjoying the exclusivity.What can i do to lower the car that would not damage my tyres? Around here nobody modifys benzes so im on my own

lots of cars
First your running the wrong tire size and maybe the wrong rim size...
To fit 20s on a w124 it has to be 20x7.5 35-38mm offset and tires have to be 225-35-20 ...Sorry in the pm i sent u i meant 225-not 215
Here's a set on ebay that fits the w124
