Wheel help
Greetings....
New to the forums and first post here. Just acquired my first Mercedes (2004 E500 sport). In the market for some new wheels. 19's or 20's. Can someone tell me the proper offset for my model? Also, best tire sizes?
many thanks

If I'm not mistaken the staggered setup also reduce oversteering by induce understeering to the car (narrower front tires).
There are pros and cons on staggered setup such as you can't rotate the front and rear tires, slightly reduce in gas milage, some said slightly slower in speed pick up due to higher friction (but some argue you got better traction off the line & less tire spin so its actually quicker).
I think the offset is still compensated by the hot looking (I would do the staggerd setup too if I'm changing the wheels)
