What the correct offset for 20 inch wheels for no scrub no rub? I currently have 20 inch Mercedes wheel on my e500 now and i get rubbing. My tire size is 245/30/20 front and 295/30/20 in the back. Is the problem the tires or the wheel offset? Does anyone know the offset of the wheel on the car?

Whats rubbing? Your tire on your fender liner or your tire on your upper control arm? You could always just roll your fenders a tad bit...
