Would 225/30/R20 Faulken tires look too small on these 20 x8.5 Replica CLS Wheels?? I know thw wheel well is kinda big. Only reason I'm considering these tires is because I can get a good deal on them.

Those tire are fine for the wheels, but they are not fine for your car..
you should have a 245 35 20 minimum... that tire is too small for your car.

It;s not worth the good deal of they pop and destroy you or your rim, or you end up only getting 5oo miles out of them..
Get the right size tire.. YOur speedo will thank you.

225/30/20 is an extremely small tire for any car unless its a honda civic. Its not the 30 series, its the 225 is what is killing you, remember the second number is a percentage of the first number so that will tell you the tire wall height. 30% of 225. Also on an 8.5in rim that tire will be stretched and the rim will stick out.
