2015 E350 Sedan
2015 E350 - 20s or 19 rims

I just picked up a 2015 E350 Sedan. Standard came with 18s.

Looking to place 19s staggered however debating whether 20s staggered would be better fit.

The 20s seem to work however not sure if there will be rubbing or just be too much rim for the car.

Anyone have 20s or any experience.

Thanks.

Heavy car with large rims, plus potholes equals hard ride and bent rims.

I prefer 18s but if you must then 19s. Just like mentioned above, 20s aren't practical at all not to mention you will always be paranoid of potholes or hitting something. Yes, they're good for looks but not for you car.

Maybe no pothole worries if OP is in temperate climate, not in snowbelt states.

Noka is mostly correct but road crews have nasty habits of leaving stuff to the next day and create risks for rims and low profile tires too.
Tram lining is a ***** at times too.

I was thinking to put 19s staggered from the previous c300 that I have. Big cities like Toronto, potholes everywhere expecting more this year due, I wouldn't use 20s, just 19s would be sporty enough, no crinching every time seeing a rough spots!

Fastest way to depreciate your car's value by $1000s would be to add after market rims ! Never mind the additional costs for replacing 19"/20" rims and tires after sustaining pot-hole damage.
