20"s on a w210 ???

i found this picture, i heard so many mixed things about putting 20's on a w210...here is one, it looks great!!!
i was wondering what some of the the people in this forums have heard about putting 20's on.. yes ? no? and what the problems may be i realize the fenders will have to be rolled , and presume the abs might be effected but beyond that????

i have 20x9's. There is a bit of rubbing on the inside section of the rim against the control arms in the front. This only happens when the body starts rolling around corners but can easily be un-noticeable once you learn how to drive it. You shouldn’t need to roll your fenders at all. As far as abs...mine actually kicked in today because of a crappy rain filled day and a brave, stupid lady who decided to turn left in front of me when she nor i could even see each other till she decided to proceed. But I am still here! and the car is fine. So i guess what i am saying is i don’t know of any abs problems. I say get them, they look nice.

I am not really a big fan of the look of 20's on a W210, but the Ebay picture is not bad. For what ever reason, it doesn't have the "Dune Buggy" look that some cars have.

As far as ABS problems, there shouldn't be a problem unless there is significant difference in diameter between different axles. Which in this case, there is not any.
