wheels for 2011 e550 4matic?
Just bought a brand new e550 4matic, and looking to put after market rims on it. I went to my wheel dealer and he said I can run 20x10 on the rear, and 20x8.5 on the front. Will this fitment work?

Factory 18" offset is +48. Tire Rack sells both +35 and +45 offsets for their wheels. Fronts would be 245 and the back can fit 275 if you want to run stagger set.

I loved the staggered fit, and the aggressive look it gives the car. The guy I talked to told me I could get 285's on the rear on a 20x10 wheel.

Only MBs - the best or nothing
In order to run staggered 20" fitment on W212 E-class 4matic, these are your only choices:
1. 235/35-20 front and 275/30-20 rear - both front & rear 26.5" diameter
2. 245/30-20 front and 285/25-20 (only with 10" wide wheels) rear - front same as stock 25.8" diameter, while rear is a bit less at 25.6" (not ideal for 4matic, but still OK) .
The problem I see with choice number 2 above is that sidewall (if one can call it a sidewall) is almost non-existant IMHO.
Naturally I much prefer choice number 1 above regardless of the drive configuration.
