Tire size of 20" rims?

So reserved a black on beige p2 package ml today. Arriving early sept. Not our top color choice but only one coming with P2. mbusa really isn't doing too well giving us choices here with this launch. Oh well gonna go for a 2 year lease then get what we really want later.
So need to know tire size I'm gonna have to buy to put on some 20" AMG rims we have ready to mount.

What width are the rims? Are you talking standard package AMG rims or ML63 rims?

Didn't you have time to custom order your color?

Some aftermarket rims. They were on a friend's old ml. They are the thin 5 spoke rims that came on the older cls 55 AMG.
Custom order comes in november. These were the first models available and already came configured. We didn't get on it immediately, but I think custom orders were going to come a little later after the launch cars. My dealer said the next batch after launch was November.

Verify their width (and preferably offset, as well) to select tire size. Some CLSs came with a staggered fitment (8.5"F & 9.5"R) - verify if this is what you have. Staggered doesn't make a lot of sense on the ML, but can be done.

You know it would help a LOT if you could at least post the specs of your wheels before asking people through the internet advice for something we can't even see.

I could estimate and throw out some numbers, but I doubt it would help your cause.

What is th stock 20" tire size

That was my original question. Not making it complicated. IF you get the stock 20's what tire size does it come with?
These rims are knock offs. Not oem. So not staggered he had them on his 2009 ml 350

255/45-20 for an 8.5-9" wide rim. Your original post was not informative enough. They could have been 10" wide rims that would take a 295 tire.

thanks greg

you're always helpful.
Yeah my original post was not clear. You guys should have been able to read my mind.
I don't have the rims, my friend does. So I wouldn't be able to even tell any info on them.
Some people are condescending on these forums. Sheesh

Just have your friend measure them (inside the rim width) to make sure before you order tires.

Those would work fine (obviously). OD difference between the those and 255s is 9 mm, not enough to be significant.
