There's always gonna be a troll.. Dub your opinions are useless. OP this topic has been discussed plenty of times, if you run a search you will find all the info you need. offset/tire/wheel size, etc

2014 E350 Cab wants 20's….
The rims are a personal touch to anyone, I don't want to rehash this again and again but who can tell me suggested tire widths/height for 20" wheels that will ride great?
Thanks.
Thanks.

One thing to take into consideration is not just the ride but also the noise factor as well as safety. 20's will significanly increase road noise, even over a 19''. Going a bigger rim you give up a lot for really just aesthetics. Also think about the quality of roads in your area. The more tire you have the less prone to puncture and blow outs, rim damage from road hazards. I had low profile tires on another car and lost control cause I blew a front tire on a pot hole and totaled my car which would not have happened had I had a little more rubber. If it's a daily driver go a 19, if its a cruiser weekend car, throw whatever you like. Just realize there is a price to pay but it's good to know all the details before you dive in.

crappy fitting aftermarket fake AMG bumper, ugly "blacked out" non-xenon headlights, fake headlamp washers that don't fit, crappy black oversized wheels, lame cheapo aftermarket blacked out grill, loser inspired aftermarket LED lights that look like they belong on a 2004 Neon. L
Yup, this car doesn't scream ghetto at all

The result of hating another persons taste in car modifications is not exactly jealousy..But a weakness that requires someone to knock another down a notch.
Quit the hate or move along.
Nice car man!

I had 20's on the W211, my 2010 5Series, and 2013 Porsche 911S. All look just right. I thought 19" will look too small on the W212. But I was worry about the bad road conditions in Chicago (Cracked/bent 2 sets of wheels in the past), I decided to go with 19". Actually doesn't look too bad when lowered. I shall post some pictures later.

I went with 19s, I'm too worried about the roads around here....Honestly, I blew a 40 series tire on a pothole 4 blocks from the house...ripped the Conti sidewall (pinched) and ruined the tire so going to the 35 series tire is gonna be pushing it enough for a daily driver around here

That's super similar that I'm going for! Just got the 2014 tail lights, but mines light grey with pano roof and carbon fiber lip/ trunk spoiler. Still need to tint it tho. Your ride looks slick&sick. I don't know what ET they are guy was selling them for $1000 with Michilen tires he didn't know what the offset they were. I might need to roll the fenders a little.

damn that's cheap! They are straight and no cracks? Check the inside of the wheel, it should tell you the size and ET of the wheel. I have a bit of rubbing, but not enough to damage anything, so I won't deal with rolling the fenders at this point. I have BC Racing coilovers on mine. Sadly they don't support the 4 Matic yet. Not sure if H&R have a set supporting the 4 Matic, but their springs are awesome, have them on my C350.

Yep no cracks all nice clean and straight, except for a little scratch. They were off a RWD e63s wagon with 4,000 miles on the wheels. The car got sold and he had to sell them for no use, so I couldn't just let the wheels go for a price like that.so now I was trying to figure out how I can use them on my ride. I have a 2011 c350 and switching to 2012 e350 and resently got a 2013 s4.

20's will look perfect on our W212. Here are my specs on my wheels.
20x9 32et with 245/30/20 front and 20x10.5 42et with 275/30/20 lowered 2.25 inches with no finger gaps. It rubs a bit in the back with big dips. So perhaps 45et will be perfect or run 255/30/20 in the back. Because I have air suspension I have 3 height setting and I don't rub at all lowered 1.50. Hope this info helps in deciding your wheel specs. It took me 4 months of research to find the right specs since not a lot of members here lower their cars with 20's. My fitment above sits at more aggressive side.
By the way, is that your cls? Great looking wheels and stance. I am sure those specs are not too far from mines perhaps.

How low can you go when parked on 20s?
Thanks, bud.

The W212 Sport line cars with 18" wheels are prone to rim damage and lots of members complain about harsh rides on this factory setup.
I had a 2016 E350 with factory AMG 18s on a staggered setup and I cannot imagine it on 20s. It would have been awful.

2013 E-350 sedan
How about a good pic when you upgrade the wheels and who did the work? I have a 2013 E-350 sedan and want to upgrade from 17” to 19” not staggered. Btw, I live in Fairfield and get my maintenance done by StarTech in Vacaville.
