2011 G55 w/ 20" rims (Advice please)
Hi everyone,

I've got an above mentioned G55 (first one delivered in Oz ) and wanted to get the Brabus 20" two piece rims. I've changed the stock suspension to the Bilsteins with G500 springs as the stock was way too hard for our dodgy roads here down under. This setup seems to work quite well for me.
What I'm wanting to know is will the slightly larger rim harshen the ride again? I have a baby on the way so don't want to jolt it's brain around too much when it rides in it.
Any advice from anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Mate, did you consider the Brabus ride control?
Was the swap to the Bilsteins and the G500 shocks a dramatic change or slight?
