Wheels: r320/350 on e550?

had the car a month and took it in for a nail in the tire. Turns out not only was there a nail and my rim was cracked, but has 2 previous repairs on it. i had them check the other side even though there was no nail but i do have a slight leak, sure enough it had been repaired 3 times was leaking from the repairs. Im loving the wheel protection plan right now.

So anyways, i dont want to deal with crack rims ever other month like i hear that happens, so i want to upgrade my wheels to another mercedes set. and i was thinking an suv seeing as they need to carry more weight and payload that they would have more reliable wheels.

I was wondering if i upgrade my wheels to the optional 20" wheels from the R class if they will mount in the front without rubbing. im going from the 18" x 8 sport wheels to 20" x 8.5 wheels.

Below is the rims im looking at.

any other advise would be helpful as well.

Thanks

To mount these, you'll need 25mm or even 30mm H&R spacers. I would look elsewhere.
