Looks great! Any appreciable difference in ride quality from previous set-up?

threeMBs

None (this is not the first time I'm on 20s on W212s). I'm using (almost) the same profile tires as on 19": 235/35-20 & 275/30-20 vs. 245/35-19 & 275/30-19 (or 255/35-19 and 285/30-19, I used both sets of sizes before). Having said that, car feels just a little bit less sporty due to me now using 20" A/S tires vs. 19" summer only tires I always used before.

Nice looking wheels and "E".

Going with a larger diameter tire will affect your final drive ratio and make the car accelerate and feel slower/less sporty also. IMO, this is the largest drawback of going with larger than stock diameter tires. I'm still eyeing up some 235/35/20's my next go round.

threeMBs

As expected, the car does not feel slower at all - these 20" wheels with tires I chose, actually weigh less than 19" wheels with tires they replaced. My "less sporty" comment was due to switch from Max performance summer tires (19s) to UHP A/S performance (20s) - the only lightweight summer Max performance tires in these sizes (Conti Sport3/DW, Pilot PS2/SS and PZeros) cost at least 2 times more while lasting at least 2 times less. I knew that before hand. Having said that, the car still drives at least as sporty as with stock A/S tires that most are still on.

Looking good 3MBS.

nice set up, is it lowered?

threeMBs

Its stock. About 1" inch higher that stock diameter (26.5 fr & 26.5 rr vs stock 25.7 fr & 25.3 rr) of tires make car look lowered (when its not) by reducing wheel to fender gap. IMO, this is one of the two benefits of running 35/30 profile tires on W212 with 20s.

what brand of tires do you have?

threeMBs

Following brands are available in 235/35-20 front and 275/30-20 rear:

1. Nitto NT555 - DiscountTireDirect.
2. Kumho Ecsta SPT - TheTireRack.

Both above are excellent tires especially for the price.

I would not use any "lesser" "brands" available for even less (most are Chinese made).

Of course if possible, Pilot Super Sports would be the best choice but would cost double of the two listed above.

Nice! What offsets? Any side shots? Looks great!

chrisvr6

I'm actually trying to not lower mine if i get 20's,but get a front lip and maybe rear diffuser to make car look lower.

cdigiovanni

Vredestien tires are the only way to go. They are build with stronger sidewalls which is clutch when running 20in wheels

juliana21

Nice clean set up

BenzoBoi

Looks great!

Not sure why that thread got resurrected after 10 months. I do not even have that car anymore.

yxc145

Because people search for 20" wheels and you are the wheel/tires expert!

threeMBs

I've been called a lot of names. Now I have this label as well. But thanks, glad if I could help.

With the images in your sig, I can't comprehend a thing you're saying...
