20's on a 00-02 w210?

Does anyone have or seen 20x8.5 or 9 (front) 20x10's (rear) on a 00-02 w210? If not how about a 19x10 rear? I have 18 x 9.5's in the back now and they are very close to rubbing the inside wheelwell with a 40 et. I am considering a 20x10 set-up and want to know if it is even possible....and if so what are the et's? I have a bent front rim now, need rear tires and am itching for new rims asap....Any input appreciated Thanks

I dont believe a 20x10 wheel will fit. I was running 18x9.5 AMG Monoblocks in the rear with a 275/40/18 tire and when i took them off i noticed i rubbed a little bit. So i think a 20x10 will definately rub. I used to have 20x9 inch wheels and never had an issuewith rubbing, just ride quality kinda sucked .

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
19's

with 9.5's is far from playing it safe.First it will trash your ride,second it will crash the suspension,third when you drop it you will need to spend upwards of $600 in camber bolts and rear camber links to get it even close to being aligned.If not expect to go through some very pricey tires in a very short period of time.You have a 4matic and you can't stagger the rims and tire sizes so how do you think you are going to run a 9.5 up front?
even the E55 went with a 31 et on the front and had to roll the fenders with an
8inch rim and et35 with a 9 on the back
you don't stagger 4matics

Thats great to know because I'm about to do it in my 4 matic and I think i'm going to buy 19's, I was wondering if it works on the 4matic. I'm moving to houston in a month too. If you know of any good shops in the area you could recommend that would be great.

but that's not the whole (critical) factors. focus should be on tire selection
for those rims which help determine suitability with your 4matic. as is, your
info doesn't help clarify whether the fitment is appropriate.

I am running 19X9.5 ET+20(rear) and 19X8 ET+20(front). No rubbing issues. No fender rolling. I don't see any issues here. I am looking to put 20X10 on the rears next.

a while back I set the self leveling system to the lowest setting and believe it or not even at this height with the 18x10 et19 I had no rubbing issues at all, as you can see the sidewall is untouched after about 2 weeks worth of driving it at this height. Later I raised it back up about 1/2" to its current height. With the k-mac camber bushings and getting the toe to factory setting, my tires wears completely evenly.



and if anyone cares how the self leveling system works when adjusted manualy see my video below, the ride height settles a bit after the car drives off the ramp
