its a friends (thug_law) ride. he lowered it 1.2" all corners. had it done in F1 Motorsports in N H. I know they used some kit to lower it, but dont know which 1. I'll try to find out. he can go another .5 in the front if he wants to

so does it rub or not? some people are saying that it will not fit and some people say that it will. i need to make sure that 20x9.5 will fit in the front of the w211. i own a 2003 e320 and looking to purchase brabus monoblock vi multipiece 20x9.5 all around. is there going to be a problem? do i need to modify the suspension or the frame? can anyone give me an sure answer? thank you

OK. this is the final say. 20x9.5 WILL fit on your car. i know this for a fact because if you want to come down to our shop, i will show you a couple E-class rollling on 20x9.5 all around.

now... the people who have told you that it will not fit, they have never tried to fit 20s on their car and dont know anything about modifying cars.

20x9.5 is NOT recommended for use as front wheels. only if you know how to drive a modified car should you use 20x9.5s in the front. for you, i would not recommend it. you have to understand that using 20x9.5s on the front will have adverse effects on your car that are not so desirable. 1. it may/most likely will rub. 2. you are bound to warp your fenders due to the tire hitting it.

also it all depends on how low you wanna go. most guys who are using 20x9.5 on the front like their cars slammed. i recommend 20x8.5 front and 20x9.5or10 rear if you want 20s.

im tellin ya dave.... just come down and ill take care of you! you want 20x9.5, we'll make it fit. if you want 19s, we'll chose the right one for you.
