E500 20" (Wheels) How is the ride?
I need all the info I can get on 20" rims on an E500.
1. What is the best 20" tire and wheel fitment for Brabus
2. Does the car scrape
3.What modifications are needed
4. How much should the car be lowered
5.How much should I pay for Brabus Mono V & VI w/tires
6.What brand tires should I get
7.What size tires
8.Where is the best place in Southern CA to get them
9.Please post pictures of E500's sitting on 20's

Do you plan to drive your car or just look at it?
Of course it is your choice, but before you spend your money on those 20" rims and tires do you know the drawbacks of those sizes?
See this post of some complaining about the ride with 17" wheels:

IMHO, 19 & 20" wheels (on most cars) are strictly for show cars that are hardly driven and are designed just to be looked at and admired.
If you just desire looks over function, noise, comfort, rattles, quick tire wear and damage then go for it. Good Luck.
