do you like to drive your car, or just put it on a pedestal and look at it ?

if you drive it on real world urban or country roads, 20" wheels will ruin the ride, and be extremely fragile, bending/breaking on road cracks, pot holes, etc, and sidewall pinch flats going up driveways, and so forth.

I love to drive my car, but I am used to drive on 20", even 21" on my BMW..

A W212 is likely 1000 lbs or more heavier than a bimmer, and was designed for 17-18 inch wheels, with /45 or /40 series tires. Your E220 diesel might even have 16s.

Right now I have original AMG 18" on, I was wondering if someone has 20" wheels, not your opinion on everything else.

good luck with that. many folks here who mounted 19's hated them and switched back to 18s. I'm not even sure what tire you'd mount on a 20 that has the correct outer diameter, it would have to be a /30 or something, brutally low profile, the only ones I found that are close to the right OD don't have the load factor for the heavy Mercedes.

Maybe you oldfolks that have bad backs, but I am used to have low profile. Please dont comment unless you have a picture of a W212 with 20 inch wheels and soecs.

​​​​​I told you, there are no 20" tires that fit a W212 and are XL load rated. The one size I found was for max 20*8.5 and had way too light of a load rating.

I have seen many others drive 20", so please stop trying to win this, just leave this post for good.

if you have seen 'many other' W212's driving with 20" wheels, why do you need more pictures of them?

Sorry, it is the facelift AMG version, saw a big thread on them, but I have seen a W212 E350 with 20x9 ET25 in front, and 20x10 ET45 back. Seems that it is very from person to person what wheels to drive. Really dont know what to go for.... Bought Vogtland 40mm springs for my car, so maybe I am going for 19x9 front, and 19x9.5 back.
You got me thinking about the 20" and I am sorry for my tone earlier.
