w211 wheel fitment
2003 e500. Do I have to get a set of staggered rims? What offset will work with out having to get spacers? I'm looking for a set of 20's and the ones I like come in non staggered and are 35, 20 and 15 offset....

Thanks

Non-staggered is OK. get the +35's. You can run a +20 up front if you want to run stretch tires. But +35 is safe front and rear

so what if I do find a set that are only 20 offsets, do I need a spacer for the rears of about 15mm?

No. +20 is more aggressive to the fender than +35. Spacers would make it worse.

ooh ok, so it's the opposite then?

So 20's 5x112 +35 should work fine for my car then right? Any recommended tire sizing? 245/30/20?

245/30/20 should be fine. Just in case, how wide are the rims? x8? x8.5? x9?

I would probably get 8.5 or if I go with 9's then I would still keep the 245 tire so they would stretch a little bit.

Well what are the tire sizes you guys running on your 20's? sidewall height I mean, I don't want to throw off my speedo by putting the incorrect tire size.

245/30 is standard for a 20" tire. If you run the +20 on the front rim, you'll need a 235/30
