Nice looking - any rub issues? I'm thinking I should have gone with 20's over 19's, but if I can ever get mine dropped a little, I think I'll like it more.

A little rubbing but I fixed that by setting my ELM to 1 notch higher.

Currently riding on 0/0/4. Pics were taken at 0/0/0.

I can't roll at 0/0/0 because the rear will rub.

OOOOH, that looks purdy!

I just can't get myself to put 20's on. The ride with 19's is too rough for a daily driver, IMO.

But man, 20's do look sexy. Nice choice.

Nah, your right...the ride is way to rough for a daily driver. The Renntech ELM did soften the ride a bit but I still can feel most things on the road.

I just love the look of 20's. If i was gonna go back to stock I'd go with the 18" AMG E63 wheels!

those wheels look great man!! what size Toyo's do you have on them? I have a set of Lohenhart LC1 20X9 and 20X11 that I am thinking about putting on my E55.



I'm not sure what tires are good at that size, I've heard that the Toyo's are really good and I think I need 235/30R20 and 285/25R20. does that sound right? let me know if you have any comments on the wheels they came with the car when I purchased it, no tires of course.

Hey croweld, have you test fitted these wheels yet because I sure they won't fit a W210. 20's are tight enough of a fit on a 210 but 10" is max in the rear and your are 11's! Just FYI mang, I think you should look for another set...

I'm running 245x30x20 fronts and 285x25x20 rears. Better to run the Toyo's because they are a more rounded tire and it will reduce the risk of rubbing.
