Oh. I thought you meant you wanted you didn't want to switch sets from summer to winter.
Your question is really really vague which is why I don't think you're getting much feedback here. Perhaps post up a few options of wheels you like and people can make suggestions if they will work. In a 20x9 front plan a 32+ offset and rear 20x10 or 20x10.5 with a 42+

I totally get it. There are a million options. Generally the most aggressive will be a 32 front and 42 rear (20x9 and 20x10.5). Lower numbers mean wheels stick out more, higher numbers less. Each tire also runs a different true width/height. Cocobex runs 20's all year with a 245/30r20 front and 275/30r20 rear DWS from conti and is ok.... technically for the health of the center differential you want to run 245/20r20 and 285/25r20. These offer less rim protection and now real winter option...
There are loads of threads on options but it's hard to pin point your desire. Also, a lot of wheel shops will steer your to a stock offset which doesn't mount as flush as what the car can handle vs what is stock/safe.
Give some options and I promise you will find great advice. No one is a dick here. But it's hard to give pointed feedback without more info. Post up styles you like, you'll get great suggestions. Budget helps too.
I can't wait to see photos of your car!

Even if you run 20x9 fronts and 20x10 in the rear, i dont think it would be an issue on the car although its a 4matic.
But there have been different discussions and point of view about this. MB wouldn't probably recommend it because they want you to go by the book, but im sure we have so many guys here who run staggered wheels on the 4matics.

As I stated in my prior post, width makes no difference. You need to keep the exterior diameter of the tires very close. I mentioned sizes that work. You can read the numerous other threads on this topic and you will find the same answer. You can also call a vendor. I wish you the best of luck. I'm sure you will find something that looks great.
