20 Wheel Setup
Hi all,
Im not new to MB, but new to the forum (never knew it existed). I signed up in September when I bought 2018 E300 P2 AMG Sport (was going to go for the P3 but I got an amazing deal because the 19s started hitting the lot already).
I did some minor things such as tint and chrome delete. Well, I just ordered a set of 20 Vertini RF 1.3 wheels. Did a staggered setup with 20X9.5 front and 20X10.5 rear.
Given the fact the overall diameter is going to be pretty close to stock, I have a feeling the wheel gap is going to bother me. Im torn between looks (lowering) or having the car ride like sh*t
Does anyone have any pics of a 20 setup on factory suspension (non air)?

Clear2Close: We run Goodyear Run Flat : (F) 245 X 35 X 20" (R) 275 X 30 X 20" It does provide a very nice balance in ride and performance characteristic. I keep my air pressure at 37 front and 38 in the rear. Good luck with you project.

MBWorld Fanatic!
Offsets are the key. Hopefully you won't be unpleasantly surprised. (Just FYI, in order to be flush, front 9.5" needs offset of around low 40s with 255 tire and 5mm more with 265 tire. With such offsets, there maybe clearance issue inboard). Keep in mind, E300 is not e63 (latter has front fenders flared by 15-20mm over former).

ThnX, the good thing is that it has “that” look, while still being able to take the family on a fully packed holiday.
there is a clear gap between “showcar stance” (as we all want to achieve) and “daily driveabillity and family commitment” (what we all need to provide)
The sweetspot is really narrow. But I think, I’m as close as it gets. Really happy how this worked out. The car is a real neck turner now.

I think I need to go a little lower... I did the same tire setup you have, but I have a little stretch with the 10.5 wheel
