Wheel gurus, please chime in.

Im looking at 20s....maybe 20x9 and 20x10....with mid +20 ish offsets. I assume the wheel lip will sit past the fenders, right?

What is the widest wheel and lowest offsets did you run without fender mods?

Thanks in advance.

Lowest et for 9" front is 35mm.
Lowest et for 10" rear is 42mm.

Forget mid 20s offsets for W212.

Good question...if you do, you will need offset to go up a bit...maybe 41mm.

That's exactly what I was thinking, I'm leaning towards 19x9.5 40et with 245/35/19

Have a set of 18x9.5 et 38 planning to put on the front? I did a dry fit and realize I need to get to at least a 41 et. So my question is will spacers work? Thinking 5mm taking me equivalent of 43 et. What impact, advantages, and disadvantages to using spacers?
